KOGAS Creates LnG Learning Center with Local Future Generations

[Financial News] Korea Gas Corporation announced on the 29th that it held an opening ceremony for the 'LnG Learning Center' established to allow local university students and children and adolescents to focus on their studies at the Ansimje1 Comprehensive Social Welfare Center in Dong-gu, Daegu on the 28th.
KOGAS has been implementing the 'LnG (Leading & Growing) Mentoring Project' since 2020, supporting the development of local talents by matching its employees with local university students and children and adolescents in a 1:1:1 mentor-mentee format, providing opportunities for long-term bonding, career counseling, and cultural experiences.
This project is composed of various programs to help strengthen the social capabilities of future generations, enhance confidence, and provide emotional stability, including △Career counseling and employment advice mentoring (Employee-University Student), △Learning mentoring (University Student-Children and Adolescents), △Emotional support mentoring (Employee-University Student-Children and Adolescents joint cultural experience).
Last year, KOGAS operated 62 teams with a total of 213 participants, including 15 mentoring partnership teams, investing 110 million won over the past five years in this project, continuing active activities such as learning guidance and team experiences.
This year, KOGAS will invest 60 million won in 16 teams composed of 21 employees, 16 university students, and 16 children and adolescents, totaling 53 people, to conduct various programs and support scholarships for university student mentors.
In particular, KOGAS has newly established the 'LnG Learning Center' within the Ansimje1 Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, equipped with individual study rooms and group study spaces to improve the concentration of children and adolescents, and also supports equipment such as desks and chairs.
Previously, temporary spaces in welfare centers, local children's centers, or nearby schools were used, but the newly established LnG Learning Center is expected to be expanded and operated as a stable mentoring cradle and an open study room for the local community.
In addition, KOGAS plans to enhance mentoring by improving the existing once-a-week face-to-face learning guidance method to allow non-face-to-face learning using tablets and laptops, considering learning continuity and effectiveness.
A KOGAS official said, "This project is meaningful in that employees voluntarily help the growth of local community dreamers," adding, "We will continue to discover future generation development programs in line with the government policy to create a safe and high-quality nurturing environment."
