[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi]KOTRA and Chosun University announced on the 5th that they signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a cooperative relationship to expand support for youth overseas employment at Chosun University in Gwangju.

The two organizations decided to focus on strengthening the overseas employment capabilities of Chosun University students and supporting employment using KOTRA's overseas network. Through this agreement, it is expected that overseas employment support programs, which had slowed down due to COVID-19, will be revitalized.

KOTRA is conducting various K-Move projects at 49 overseas trade centers to support young job seekers' overseas employment, assisting with the entire process of overseas employment such as discovering hiring demands from overseas companies and arranging interviews.

Kim Yoon-tae, Head of KOTRA's Small and Medium Enterprises Division, said, "I am pleased to work towards expanding overseas employment opportunities for local youth," adding, "We will actively support our youth in developing global careers through overseas employment."
