The Gyeonggi Women and Family Foundation has been certified as a 'Career Experience Institute for Education Donation' by the Ministry of Education, in recognition of its contributions to providing free career experience opportunities for adolescents.

The Career Experience Institute for Education Donation certification system is a program established under Article 19 of the Career Education Act, selecting institutions that provide quality career experience opportunities, free of charge, to elementary, middle, and high school students.

The special lecture program is an educational initiative designed to challenge gender role stereotypes about occupations among adolescents and to provide opportunities for students in the province to access information for gender-equal career choices. From 2024 to June of this year, 144 special lectures on career development were conducted for 8,939 adolescents.

In 2026, the career special lecture program will be held 59 times through November. Notably, starting this year, the program will also partner with youth education institutions in addition to middle and high schools within the province, aiming to provide education opportunities without leaving any gaps.

Kim Hyesoon, CEO of the Gyeonggi Women and Family Foundation, said, "By providing adolescents with opportunities to explore jobs in the field of occupational segregation, we hope to help break down gender role stereotypes and lay the foundation for gender-equal career exploration."
