Gwangjin-gu Leads Youth Social Advancement Through Corporate Visits.

Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has been drawing attention by promoting company visits for young people who have given up on job searching in the area since the end of July.

This company visit program was conducted as part of the Youth Challenge Support Project. The Youth Challenge Support Project is designed to boost the employment motivation and confidence of young people aged 19 to 39 who have no history of employment or participation in vocational training for more than six months, providing employment counseling and customized programs.

The company visits, which offer job experience, actively reflected the opinions of 70 participants in the Youth Challenge Project. Participants had a valuable time visiting companies and industries of interest, touring facilities, and resolving questions through communication with practitioners.

The company visits began on July 31 and include visits to ▲ ‘Cafe 1847’ for cafe operation and startup, ▲ ‘Geonsolution’ for a smart factory tour combining manufacturing technology and robotics, ▲ ‘Four Points by Sheraton Guro’ for improving skills in the tourism service sector, and ▲ ‘WeDataLab Co., Ltd.’ and ‘Chroma Entertainment Co., Ltd.’ to learn marketing techniques using artificial intelligence, providing a broad range of experiences.

A young participant in the company visits expressed satisfaction, saying, “It was very good to visit companies I am interested in and hear directly from current employees.”

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “I hope this company visit program will boost confidence in job searching and serve as a stepping stone for successful social entry,” adding, “Since job experience plays an important role in hiring, we will actively support youth employment activities by discovering various experience-centered projects.”
