The Daegu Metropolitan Government announced Sunday that it will fully launch the "Youth Growth Project (Youth Cafe Chwitkey)," a customized employment support program aimed at boosting job-seeking motivation among unemployed young people.
The project is a youth-tailored support initiative that the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) has promoted since 2024. Daegu was named the top-performing organization in the program's first year and an outstanding organization last year.
This year, the city is investing a total of 2.5 billion won, including 2 billion won in central government funding, to provide individually tailored programs for approximately 5,600 local youth aged 15 to 39. The programs cover career direction and decision-making, mentoring, self-development, and career and employment support.
In particular, the city will introduce new specialized programs co-designed by schools and businesses this year, including initiatives that enable corporate internship experiences to lead directly to hiring.
Young people wishing to participate can apply through the Youth Growth Project website or the Daegu Youth Center.
