Daejeon City announced that it is recruiting participants for the "Youth Growth Project" to support smooth social activities and boost job-seeking motivation among young people facing difficulties in finding employment.

The Youth Growth Project aims to prevent young people from giving up on job searching and to help them adapt in the early stages of employment. The project consists of two main programs: "Youth Cafe," which offers customized programs and psychological counseling, and "Workplace Adaptation Support," which provides youth-friendly organizational culture education to local company CEOs, HR managers, and new employees.

Youth Cafe operates seven base locations that are easily accessible to young people and offers a 20-hour customized program to support daily life and maintain motivation for job searching.

The program is open to unemployed youth aged 15 to 39 and includes one-on-one psychological counseling, career redesign, youth networking, and employment competency enhancement programs.

Workplace Adaptation Support targets managers (such as CEOs and HR managers) and new employees within one year of hiring at local small and medium-sized enterprises, offering programs on collaborative communication, prevention of workplace abuse, and onboarding.

Kwon Kyungmin, Director of Economic Affairs at Daejeon City, said, "We will actively support the prevention of youth giving up on job searching in Daejeon and the creation of youth-friendly organizational cultures in local companies."
