"I Want to Work at a Company" JobKorea Supports Youth with Borderline Intelligence

[Financial News] JobKorea has started supporting work experience for youth with borderline intelligence. Together with the Youth Foundation, they are operating the 'Potential Growth Campus' to strengthen job skills and lower employment entry barriers for youth in employment blind spots.
According to JobKorea on the 12th, the Potential Growth Campus work experience runs for 8 weeks starting from the 28th of last month. JobKorea has placed 2 youths in the internal HR business team and strategic marketing team. They are assigned tasks such as planning, research, and document writing, and are also provided with marketing work experience such as supporting the 'Cafe Dreams' coffee truck event in the second half of the year.
On the first day of work, orientation and job training were conducted to support smooth communication and job adaptation. The participating youths said, "I had a strong desire to learn from a company, and this program provided even greater motivation."
JobKorea plans to continue supporting their job search and improving job-specific skills even after the work experience ends. Seung-il Jeong, head of JobKorea's Education Service Business Division, said, "It is significant to be able to provide practical employment skills to youths who need help with job searching and communication but lack institutional support," and added, "We will lead the way in connecting jobs for vulnerable groups and expanding the recruitment base."
Meanwhile, JobKorea is recruiting work experience places for the second cohort of Potential Growth Campus participants until the 5th of next month. Applications can be made on the JobKorea website under the 'Potential Growth Youth Exclusive Hall', which will be operated until January next year.
