The event, held on July 15 at Avani Central Busan, aimed to provide practical direction for reemployment and strengthening job competencies. Approximately 80 participants attended, including small business owners planning to close their businesses, university students, and related officials.

The Busan Ulsan Regional Headquarters has established a cooperative system to support the comeback of small business owners and revitalize local commercial districts by signing business agreements with Busan Women's University, Dong-Eui Institute of Technology, and Dong-Eui University, which are among the RISE-selected universities in Busan.

The forum featured a variety of programs, including a 'Remind Set' special lecture, a talk concert, a university student collaboration session ('Finding My Own Scent', image making, and guidance on comeback support projects), and a special employment lecture. These programs were designed to help small business owners regain confidence and prepare for reintegration into society.

Kim Jongsun, head of the Busan Ulsan Regional Headquarters, stated, "In order to turn a business crisis into an opportunity, retrying and reemployment are important. We will continue to provide support so that small business owners can find new jobs and take root in society again, through cooperation with local universities."
