The Gwangju Youth Job Station's Sangmu Center, operated by Gwangju University's industry-academic cooperation foundation, will run a range of tailored programs in October aimed at helping local youth prepare for employment, explore career paths, build job skills and restore a sense of daily routine.
Employment readiness offerings include an NCS practice problem-solving class, interview coaching, a marketer job portfolio completion class, a personal statement writing workshop, a special lecture by a current Korea Road Traffic Authority employee, and interview image consulting.
AI and digital skills programs are also on offer. Courses include AI video content production, AI-assisted emoticon creation, a Claude AI agent and vibe coding class, an E-TEST (Excel) certification course, an Instagram utilization workshop, and a Notion household budget workshop — all designed to build digital competencies youth can apply in real work and daily life.
"The October programs are designed not only to build the practical skills needed for employment, but also to help young people explore their aptitudes and career directions and find renewed energy through new experiences," the center's director said. "I hope this becomes an opportunity for youth to participate without pressure and discover the experiences and direction they need."
