THE 2018 Asean Youth Career Mentorship Programme was held by the Asean-Korea Centre at its Asean Hall in Seoul on March 31 in cooperation with the Asean Youth Network in Korea (AYNK).
In a press release, the centre shared that the programme aimed to deliver information to around 80 Asean students interested in pursuing a career in Korea and to provide a venue for networking among Asean students and their mentors, who are young Asean professionals working in Korea.
Jang Yeunju Jessy, the Acting Secretary General of the Asean-Korea Centre delivered an opening remarks at the the event.
“Korean President Moon Jae-in announced a policy vision toward Asean, dubbed ‘New Southern Policy,’ which is not limited to trade of goods but also aims to expand exchanges of technology, culture, and people between Asean and Korea,” she said
“Recent statistics demonstrate deepening relations between the two regions, as the number of Asean students in Korea almost doubled in 2017 while E-7 visa holders from Asean who are working as professionals in Korea increased almost 20 per cent in 2016.”
“Asean students who studied in Korea are talents both Korean companies who seek to get into Asean market and Asean companies who want to come to Korean market are looking for. I hope this event will be valuable and you have a very productive discussion,” added the Acting Secretary General.
Nuporn Chantavarin, President of the Asean Youth Network in Korea (AYNK), co-organiser of the programme, noted that, “This event is the opportunity for us, Asean students in Korea, to pave our future path. I’d like to thank the Asean-Korea Centre for guiding us through.”
