According to the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education on October 8, "Find My Dream Career Counseling" is being offered for fifth and sixth graders in elementary school who are preparing to enter middle school. Counselors assess students’ career interests, aptitudes, and learning attitudes, and suggest ways to motivate them. This program is also open to middle school students, first and second-year high school students, and parents.

Middle school students receive support in planning their careers through aptitude tests. Information is provided on types of high schools and specialized high school departments. High school students receive focused support on selecting subjects and information about university departments. Counseling is also available for subjects aligned with the high school credit system, as well as general, career, and interdisciplinary elective courses.

Learning counseling is provided through learning strategy tests, interest tests, and multi-factor intelligence tests. The goal is to help students maintain learning motivation and improve concentration.

A "365 Career Room" is being established in middle schools to expand spaces for career exploration. Teacher competency is being enhanced through professional development training and research clubs. Community partnerships are also being expanded through university-linked programs such as "Dream Like Dream," "Dream Makers Workshop," and local government cooperative career experience support centers.

Third-year high school students preparing for college entrance exams receive support through a teacher support group for the College Scholastic Ability Test and the Gwangju-style mock exam program "Gwangju Final Completion."

Career and college entrance counseling is being provided at the Career and College Entrance Support Center of the Education Research Information Center under the city office of education until December. Counseling schedules differ for elementary, middle, and high school students. Applications can be submitted through the Career and College Entrance Support Center website starting at 10 a.m. on the first Monday of each month.
