Minister Kim visited the site to check the execution status of various job projects and to listen to the voices of job seekers striving for employment.

He continued, "At the beginning of the year, we plan to conduct a full survey of graduates at more than 120 University Job Plus Centers nationwide and guide them on employment support policies."
