내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it is supporting and operating various programs designed to help high school seniors who have completed the CSAT, as well as other students at the end of the school year, strengthen their self-directed career competencies and support the effective operation of academic programs.

As key initiatives, the city will operate programs in areas such as self-development and career experience, cultural experiences, financial literacy, and disaster safety. Each program is designed to support a flexible curriculum tailored to end-of-year needs so that students may wrap up their school year in a meaningful and rewarding way.

The Busan Economic Promotion Agency, in connection with the Busan Youth Job (JOB) Growth Project, is offering one-on-one (1:1) career counseling services and financial education for prospective university students and new employees, while also providing a wide range of information related to career paths and employment.
Students can receive guidance on youth policies and access various counseling (consulting) services, and online registration is available on the Busan Youth Job Growth Café website (busanjobcafe.kr).

The Busan Transportation Corporation is visiting middle and high schools to offer lecture-based career education on the role of urban railway train operators, while also providing hands-on career experience through tours of railway depots.
Students may participate after making a prior reservation through the Ggoomgil website (ggoomgil.go.kr).

Career Education Support Centers in each district and county are offering admission information sessions and one-on-one tailored career counseling (consulting). Programs include understanding the high school credit system for prospective middle school students entering high school, counseling on regular college admissions strategies, and hands-on activities related to various career themes.
A wide range of age-appropriate career and job experience programs for elementary, middle, and high school students are available, and inquiries can be made through each district’s Career Education Support Center.

At the Busan Cinema Center, students can participate in programs such as “Watching and Reading Films,” which features screenings and commentary on outstanding Korean films; film production classes that progress from theoretical lessons to the creation of short films; and special lectures on film-related careers.
These programs are open to high school students, and details are available on the Busan Cinema Center website (dureraum.org).

Education to prevent consumer damage for young adults entering society is also being offered. The Economic Policy Division is providing customized economic education for high school seniors after the CSAT, covering topics such as credit management, e-commerce contracts, and voice phishing, using real-life case studies to raise awareness and prevent potential harm.
Schools may apply to participate.

Radiation disaster preparedness education is also provided directly at schools. The Nuclear Safety Division visits high schools to teach students accurate information about nuclear energy and instructions on how to respond during a radiation-related emergency.
Schools wishing to participate may apply through their respective Offices of Education.
Additionally, the Busan 119 Safety Experience Center offers year-round programs that allow all Busan citizens to experience various disaster situations and learn appropriate response methods. Reservations can be made through the Busan 119 Safety Experience Center website (safe119.busan.go.kr).

Kim Gue-ok, Director General of the Youth Industry and Academic Affairs Bureau, stated, “Once exams end, real experiences begin,” adding, “We wholeheartedly support the future of our students and will spare no effort to help them grow into global talents who will lead Busan through diverse and meaningful experiences.”
