He added, "You must identify your own interests and capabilities, and be able to connect them to a career," and said, "I will continue to support the lives of young people silently living in this era."

Following the youth lecture, on-site recruitment interviews took place. Announcer Choi Hyun-jin introduced recruitment information from 14 major and small-to-medium-sized companies in Suwon, and interested young people received recruitment counseling or participated in interviews at booths set up at the venue.

Ancillary programs included "image making," which provided interview makeup assistance, and "employment clinic," which offered consulting on cover letters and resumes.

In addition, various programs were conducted, including an event introducing corporate support programs provided by Ajou University's LINC+ business division and "youth-business networking" on the theme of "companies where youth want to work and what businesses expect from workers."

Meanwhile, the event was jointly hosted by Suwon City, Suwon Labor-Management-Civil Council, Suwon Youth Support Center, LINC+ business divisions at Kyung Hee University, Sungkyunkwan University, and Ajou University, and Digital Empire II Council. The Ministry of Employment and Labor sponsored the event.
