Boosting Job Confidence... Busan City Holds English Special Lecture for Self-Reliant Youth

Park Misol from the International Cooperation Division
to Lead "English for My Tomorrow" Lecture

An English special lecture for self-reliant youth will be held in Busan.

The Busan Metropolitan City Government (Mayor Park Hyungjun) announced on the 28th that an English special lecture for self-reliant youth will be held at the Jinin Hall, the main auditorium of the Busan Youth Support Center, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM on the 29th.

This special lecture is targeted at 19 self-reliant youth who have entered the Busan Youth Self-Reliance Support Center (hybrid type) through the self-reliance support program "Gillajob-i."

This support center is a privately commissioned institution operated by the city to help youth aged 19 to 24 who are outside of family care become self-reliant.

On this day, Park Misol, an English-Korean interpretation and translation expert from the Busan City International Cooperation Division, will give a lecture on the theme "English Special Lecture for My Tomorrow."

The special lecture will be held in a talk show format with the instructor, and a Q&A session will be provided so that the youth can immediately resolve their questions.

Through the lecture, self-reliant youth will explore various English certifications and test preparation methods required in the job market, such as TOEIC, TOEFL, and OPIc, and will have time to develop and strengthen their English skills in line with specific employment goals.

The self-reliance support program "Gillajobi" is a major project of the Busan Youth Self-Reliance Support Center, now in its fourth year.

Each year, the center offers various career exploration and experience programs and special lectures on professions such as patissier, color psychology perfumer, and personal color consultant, supporting the employment preparation and reemployment of out-of-home youth admitted to the institution.

Last year, a total of 58 people participated in the program. This year, starting with this English special lecture, a variety of career programs are planned, including "My Path, Career Coaching" and "Mental UP Project - Seize the Future."

Park Seolyeon, Director of the Busan City Department of Women and Family, said, "I hope that youth preparing for self-reliance can gain confidence in the employment process," and added, "We will continue to support self-reliant youth through various job experience and mentoring activities so that they can confidently prepare for their future."
