On the 24th, Gwangju Mayor Kang Gijung met with new employees of public institutions to communicate and shared the sentiment, "Let's become reliable partners who walk together for the happiness of citizens."

New employees of public institutions in the Gwangju area are currently participating in a five-day integrated training program at the Gwangju Human Resources Development Institute, which will continue until the 28th.

The talk concert with the mayor was organized as a program to help participants better understand Gwangju's municipal administration and policies. Around 60 employees wrote questions on the spot, and Mayor Kang answered them directly.

The new employees asked a wide range of questions, including 'the strengths and weaknesses of Gwangju tourism,' 'the timing and direction of the city's subway opening,' 'how to get promoted quickly,' and 'ways to relieve stress,' as well as personal interests. They also expressed curiosity about issues closely related to daily life, such as Gwangju Subway Line 2, Gwangcheon-Sangmu Line, and complex shopping malls.

Mayor Kang answered the questions and explained the strategic choices for Gwangju's future industries, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and future vehicle policy directions. He also encouraged them by saying, "Don't build walls or set limits for yourself by thinking, 'I'm only suited for this job and shouldn't do anything else.' If you change your perspective, a completely different path will open up, and I hope you will move forward step by step through such changes."

Gwangju City is conducting its first integrated training this year for new employees of public institutions selected through integrated recruitment. This training is organized by the Gwangju Human Resources Development Institute, with 62 new employees from 16 regional public institutions participating.
