The program operates as a team-based project format, grounded in real issues faced by companies. Over the course of 8 weeks, participants tackle on-the-job tasks and systematically strengthen their problem-solving skills and practical capabilities through expert mentoring.

The association plans to support young participants so they can fully focus on enhancing their practical skills by providing pre-work training, youth stipends and team support funds, company support funds for participating companies, performance presentations and best practice competitions, as well as employment linkages and career counseling. In addition, the association will hold performance presentations to identify outstanding cases and promote the program’s achievements through media coverage and external public relations.

Currently, applications from participating companies are being accepted, and recruitment for young participants is also set to begin in earnest. Selected companies and young people will receive various forms of government support, including on-site expert coaching, project operating expenses, and youth stipends.

Myungjin Kim, President of Mainbiz Association, stated, "Based on our operational know-how, the association will provide young people with opportunities to strengthen their practical skills, while offering companies an environment to secure well-prepared talent. We aim to take the lead in building a virtuous cycle that alleviates workforce shortages among SMEs and revitalizes youth employment."
