Boosting Employment Confidence
Enhancing the Capabilities of Local Youth
Dongseo University's youth employment support program in Busan has concluded to positive feedback.
Dongseo University announced on November 17 that its University Job Plus Center, in collaboration with the Busan Northern Branch of the Busan Regional Employment and Labor Office, ran the 'Regional Youth Employment READY One' program from November 5 to 14. A total of 39 young people from the Busan area participated in this course, focusing on strengthening their practical job-seeking skills.
The program began with a special lecture to motivate participants for employment and a session on understanding the structure of the local industry, helping young people broaden their perspectives on local job opportunities and establish clear career directions.
In the subsequent 'Employment Skills UP Course,' participants engaged in hands-on training covering key aspects of job preparation, including writing job applications, storytelling for self-introductions, and interview speech skills.
Young adults participating in the 'Local Youth Employment READY One' program are conducting a company visit to Panasia.
The most anticipated part of the program, the 'Pro JOB-ler TALK Concert,' provided a direct connection to the field. Current professionals participated to share insights on changes in job roles, corporate culture, and the specific competencies required during the hiring process.
For the final event, 11 officials from the Busan Northern Employment Center joined the participants for a company visit to Panasia, one of Busan’s leading small and medium-sized enterprises. Together, they toured the workplace and took part in mentoring sessions with employees, allowing the young participants to experience the atmosphere and job environment of the industry firsthand.
All participants who completed the program received an official certificate of completion and will be given preferential consideration when participating in future employment-linked programs and company recommendation initiatives run by the University Job Plus Center.
Jung Dowoon, Director of the University Job Plus Center at Dongseo University, stated, "I hope that by seeing and hearing directly from the field, young people will gain confidence and realize the potential of local industries," adding, "We will continue to expand practical support programs that connect local youth with companies."
