On the 29th, Daejeon City hosted "Job Talk Live," an event bringing together young people and current professionals at the Daedeok Hall of the International Cultural Center at Chungnam National University, to exchange diverse views on youth employment and career paths.

Through this initiative, Daejeon City selects "Youth-Attracting Companies (Chung-Keul-Gi-Up)"—companies favored by young people for their excellent wages, welfare, working environments, and growth potential.
