This project is a customized, practical program jointly planned by the Suncheon Youth Training Center and the Youth Cultural Center. It is designed for a total of 350 youth and their families, offering a variety of experiences and lessons in essential life skills such as finance, artificial intelligence, everyday technology, and career exploration.

The first set of programs, held at the Youth Training Center, includes financial literacy education, the HOME AI Project, and Science Family Day. These sessions focus on hands-on learning in areas such as money management, investment, and robot control, with particular emphasis on enhancing creative problem-solving skills through teaching materials and instructors provided by the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity.

The next set of programs, held at the Youth Cultural Center, features practical classes closely tied to daily life, such as creating a portfolio with Notion, mastering home-cooked meals, and preparing for a first trip to Japan. These are practical programs that go beyond simple experiences, helping youth design their own futures.

A city official stated, "We hope that after the exams, youth will spend meaningful time and prepare for a new start in life," adding, "We will continue to develop and expand practical education systems tailored to the different stages of youth growth."
