Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kang Gi-jung) will hold the ‘Dream Meeting Day’ event for applicants participating in the ‘Gwangju Youth Work Experience Dream Plus’ at the City Hall 1st floor Citizen Hall from the 19th to the 21st.

According to Gwangju City on the 14th, ‘Dream Meeting Day’ is an event that connects Dream Centers (participating workplaces) and job-seeking youth for work experience consultations to encourage young people’s job-seeking motivation and resolve job mismatch issues.

This event will feature 295 Dream Centers including public institutions, youth start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises, social economy enterprises, and social welfare organizations. These Dream Centers will provide consultations on job roles offered at workplaces at 330 booths. Additionally, a promotional booth will be operated to easily access various youth policies in Gwangju.

Detailed Dream Center consultation schedules and work experience job roles can be found on the Gwangju Youth Work Experience Dream website.

‘Gwangju Youth Work Experience Dream Plus’ is Gwangju City’s representative youth employment project that supports unemployed youth residing in Gwangju with work experience suited to their job aptitude, salary, job competency enhancement training, and related activities.

Youths participating as ‘Dream Youth’ in the project will gain work experience for 25 hours per week over 5 months at matched workplaces and receive a salary at the Gwangju living wage level (approximately 1.67 million KRW before tax).

Since 2017, over 6,300 young people have participated, building job competencies at various workplaces in the region.

Gwangju City is recruiting 430 Dream Youth for the 15th term to participate in work experience. Interested youth can pre-register on the Gwangju Youth Work Experience Dream website by the 20th, attend consultations and interviews on ‘Dream Meeting Day,’ and submit the final application on the website by 9 PM on the 21st.

The selection results will be posted on the Gwangju Youth Policy Platform, Gwangju Youth Work Experience Dream, and Gwangju City websites on the 27th. Selected youth will begin common training on March 4 and gain work experience at matched workplaces from March to July for 5 months.

Oh In-chang, Youth Policy Officer, said, “Since 2017, Gwangju City has been promoting this project to provide young people with opportunities for work experience to resolve job mismatches and strengthen their job-seeking capabilities. We hope young people actively participate as this is a chance to explore job aptitude through actual work experience in fields they are interested in.”
