Young participants in the 'Youth Challenge Support Project' being promoted by Wanju County strengthened their job skills by attending the '2025 Wanju County Job Fair' held at Woosuk University Gymnasium on the 4th.

On that day, about 30 young people participated in the fair, visiting various booths such as recruitment, consulting, experience, and promotion booths to obtain practical job information and self-assessment time. Participants received help in career planning through interviews with corporate HR managers, resume and interview clinics, and aptitude tests.

Wanju County officially launched the Youth Challenge Support Project last year through a public offering by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and this year, it is operating with the goal of expanding participation to a total of 8 sessions and 120 participants. So far, 46 individuals have completed the program, and 30 are currently participating in the education.

Song Mi-kyung, head of the Economic Policy Department in Wanju County, expressed hopes that "this fair will be an opportunity for young people to directly experience the job market and explore career paths" and stated, "We will continue to assist young people in achieving independence and social integration through various support measures."

Wanju County is currently recruiting students for a 5-week course scheduled to start in mid-September. Any young person aged 18-34 who has not participated in employment, education, or vocational training in the past 6 months can apply, and a participation allowance of 500,000 won will be provided.

Applications can be made through the 'Youth Mecca Wanju' website's Google Form or through Employment 24 (www.work24.go.kr), and for more information, inquiries can be directed to the Job Planning Team at Camtec Comprehensive Technical Institute (063-219-0412~3, 0450).
