[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Gijang-gun conducted a 'University Exploration for Out-of-School Youth' for 30 youths not attending school from the 17th to the 19th.
The 'University Exploration for Out-of-School Youth' is a project proposed and adopted directly by youths through the 'Youth Participatory Budget System.'
The project provides youths who cannot attend school due to personal circumstances with opportunities to have new dreams through visits to famous universities in Seoul and career experience programs.
The university exploration program included ▲ tours of Seoul National University and Yonsei University with professional mentors and career and admission counseling ▲ tours of the National Assembly, KBS, Korea Newspaper Museum, and National Museum of Korea ▲ visits to Korea Job World career experience centers, providing out-of-school youths with a chance to decide their studies and career paths independently and to continue pursuing their dreams.
A Gijang-gun official said, “The university exploration provided out-of-school youths with opportunities to explore universities and department information and motivated them academically,” adding, “It will be an opportunity for out-of-school youths to row hard toward their future without losing their dreams.”
