The event was attended by about 80 people, including Mayor Bang Se-hwan, course participants, and cooperating organizations such as lecture demand institutions, and proceeded in the order of the 2024 project report, certificate presentation, and performance report by each club.

The Career-Holding Women Stepping Stone Employment Support Project is a project newly launched by Gwangju City this year, recruiting 45 women interested in employment and entrepreneurship, and supporting them to grow into professional workers through intensive learning, mentoring, and consulting.

As a result of the 8-month program, 42 participants (93.3%) completed the course, showing high achievements with 30 employed or self-employed and earnings of 28,624,000 KRW.

One trainee who attended the performance report meeting said, “I had no choice but to quit my job due to child-rearing and was a housewife for 13 years, so I was afraid and uncertain about re-entering society,” adding, “Thanks to this great opportunity, I participated in the Stepping Stone Employment Support Project, completed the instructor course in my field of interest, and have now grown into a respectable instructor.”

Mayor Bang Se-hwan said, “It is an amazing achievement that women who faced difficulties in re-employment due to career breaks caused by marriage and childcare developed their latent abilities, participated in economic and social activities, and created economic effects,” adding, “The city will continue to actively promote various projects with interest in the economic and social participation of career-holding women as a women-friendly city.”
