Muan-gun Youth After-School Academy Operates Career and Job Experience Activities

Prepared to Provide Information on Hard-to-Access Occupation Groups

On the 16th, the Jeonnam Muan-gun (Governor Kim San) Youth After-School Academy announced that on the 11th, about 20 affiliated youths visited Yeosu Aqua Planet to conduct marine life exploration and career/job experience activities.

The Muan-gun Youth After-School Academy, supported by Muan-gun and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, provides various youth programs such as learning and life guidance, counseling, experiential activities, and meal support for local youths in need of after-school care (elementary grades 4?6, middle school grades 1?3).

The experience activity was organized to provide information about occupational groups that affiliated youths usually find difficult to access, and education was conducted based on the experience of a current instructor about the ‘Aquarist,’ also known as an underwater life specialist or aquarium manager.

Students participating in the program discovered new interests in marine science and environmental fields and had the opportunity to experience the daily life of an aquarist through activities such as observing and managing various underwater creatures.

Kim Ki-young, Director of the Resident Life Division, said, “We will continue to strive to support various experiential activities so that youths can understand that there are diverse occupational groups beyond the ordinary jobs seen around them and broaden their horizons.”
