Gwangju Urban Corporation (President Kim Seungnam) announced on the 29th that it recently conducted an employment success and career planning program for local university students preparing for employment.

This initiative was held to foster local talent and promote youth employment, targeting students from Chosun University, the representative university in Gwangju, who aspire to work at local public institutions.

The program began with a recruitment briefing session offering insights into public institution hiring trends and job search strategies, followed by mock interviews and career mentoring from employed alumni to support employment success. Through these activities, students preparing for employment were given the opportunity to develop a proper work ethic and career perspective, as well as enhance their job-seeking competencies.

In particular, the customized mock interview training for public institutions?an experience not easily accessible?and the career mentoring session where alumni and job-seeking youths shared their employment preparation stories, received enthusiastic responses from participating students.

President Kim Seungnam stated, "The fundamental foundation for regional growth comes from the capabilities of outstanding local talent," adding, "We will continue to do our best to nurture future talents who will represent the region and to secure quality jobs for young people."
