The "Youth Employment Plus Academy" consists of various programs designed to improve young people's perceptions of local small and medium-sized enterprises and to help them prepare for employment by establishing practical job search strategies. It was established to support successful employment for youth through systematic career guidance.

This initiative is part of the Youth Job Growth Project promoted by the city and the Ministry of Employment and Labor. The Busan Regional University Job Plus Center, Busan Employers Federation, and Busan Economic Promotion Agency are collaborating to develop and operate employment competency enhancement programs tailored to the characteristics of each university.

Starting with this special lecture, the "Youth Employment Plus Academy" will be offered for 8 to 15 weeks during the second semester at each university this year.

Kim Guiok, Director of the Youth Industry-Academic Cooperation Bureau of the city, said, "This project was designed to improve university students' perceptions of small and medium-sized enterprises and to resolve the job mismatch. Before the full-scale launch of the project, this special lecture will be an opportunity for young people to share their real-life concerns and diverse experiences, giving them courage and hope."
