Daejeon City announced that it has been selected for the Ministry of Employment and Labor's new public project, the 'Youth Growth Project,' and is recruiting participants for the program.

The city plans to operate programs for a total of 3,454 people, including 2,500 participants in the youth cafe customized program, 440 in professional psychological counseling, 164 corporate managers in organizational culture education, and 350 new employees in onboarding programs.

The youth cafes operate eight hub spaces that young people can easily visit, providing a 20-hour customized program to support daily life and maintain job-seeking motivation. Eligible applicants are unemployed youth aged 15 to 39, who can participate free of charge. The program includes one-on-one psychological counseling, career redesign, youth networking, and job competency enhancement.

Workplace adaptation support is provided to managers (CEOs, HR personnel, etc.) working at local small and medium-sized enterprises and new employees within one year of hiring. The education covers youth-friendly organizational culture and workplace adaptation support, consisting of collaborative communication, prevention of power harassment, and onboarding programs. After completion, continuous networking support and mentoring management are also provided.

Youth and companies wishing to participate can apply by selecting their preferred location through the Employment24 or Daejeon Youth Portal websites.

Kwon Kyung-min, Director of the Economic Science Bureau of Daejeon City, said, "We will actively support preventing youth in Daejeon from giving up on job seeking and fostering a youth-friendly organizational culture within local companies."
