Gangnam-gu to Recruit Trainees for Future Industry Youth Startup Academy until 25th

Education and Support for All Startup Processes Starting October 10

Gangnam-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Jo Seong-myeong) is recruiting trainees to participate in the 'Future Industry Youth Startup Academy' until the 25th of this month.

Any youth aged 19 to 39 residing in Gangnam-gu can participate, and they can apply by scanning the QR code printed on posters or banners. Selected participants through a phone interview will attend the academy held every Thursday from October 10 to December 12 at the 3rd Education Center of Chunghyun Church (98-gil 22, Nonhyeon-ro).

The academy plans to provide easy-to-understand education on all aspects necessary for startups, including corporate branding, business item discovery, business model development, MVP (Minimum Viable Product) prototyping, customer and market validation, and special lectures on IR investment and marketing. Additionally, 1:1 consulting, open space networking, and demo days will be supported.

Meanwhile, Gangnam-gu signed an agreement with Chunghyun Church last year to support the rapid social entry of local youth and is promoting the 'Youth Jump-up Project.' Chunghyun Church provides space free of charge for employment and startup education, while the district conducts education in the 4th industrial sector, internships, 1:1 mentoring, and youth cultural events.

District Mayor Jo Seong-myeong said, "We ask for the interest and participation of many Gangnam-gu youths who dream of becoming one-person companies, N-jobbers, or startup CEOs," and added, "We will continue to actively cooperate with the private sector to lead the strengthening of youth employment and startup capabilities."
