More than 120 people, including young participants and related stakeholders, attended the event, making it a meaningful gathering.


The main program featured an awards ceremony and presentations by outstanding youths selected through a challenge case competition. Through these activities, creative and challenging experiences of local youths were shared, eliciting strong empathy and enthusiastic responses from the participants.


In addition, various side events such as employment tarot counseling, claw machine games, dalgona candy making, and a participant photo exhibition were organized, transforming the event into a festival that youths could enjoy, rather than a simple performance report.


Continuing from 2024, Yangsan City is implementing the Youth Challenge Support Project this year as well, in consortium with the Gyeongnam Employers Federation, providing customized programs to help young people regain confidence and strengthen their employability.


As of November, a total of 126 youths have participated in the program, with 118 completing it. Among them, 13 have successfully found employment or started their own businesses.


In 2026, the city plans to expand the program by increasing the target number of completions to 130, allowing more youths to benefit from the project.



A city official stated, "Today's achievements are above all the valuable result of the passion and spirit of challenge shown by our young people. Yangsan City will continue to promote various youth policies, including the Youth Challenge Support Project, and will spare no effort to provide diverse support so that young people do not lose hope and can proactively plan their own career paths."
