This academy is a program designed to support career planning and capacity building for young people aged 19 to 39 who either live or are active in airport noise-affected areas, such as Sinwol-dong and Sinjeong-dong.

The curriculum consists of four main areas—building a roadmap for employment, utilizing generative AI, preparing for employment at public enterprises, and strategies for airport employment—for a total of 12 courses. In particular, a new ‘specialized airport employment course’ has been established, featuring participation from a human resources officer at Korea Airports Corporation.

The program will be held every Thursday from June 11 to September 17 at the Yangcheon-gu Health & Healing Cultural Center, with 25 participants recruited for each course. Applications can be submitted via Google Forms until the start of each lecture, and participants are required to complete all sessions of the selected course.

Yangcheon-gu Mayor Lee Kijae stated, “This year’s Youth Academy has been thoroughly prepared to strengthen employment competitiveness by enhancing popular lectures from last year and introducing a specialized airport employment course. I hope that many young people aspiring for a better future will show great interest and participate.”
