Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance, in collaboration with SK, has introduced a talent development program aimed at connecting young people's experiences in solving social issues with future capabilities.
The 'Project Trailmark' was unveiled during the '3rd Korea Social Value Festa' held at COEX in Gangnam, Seoul, from September 21 to 22, Hyundai Marine & Fire announced on September 23.
Project Trailmark allows young individuals to document their experiences in addressing social issues, analyzing their roles, actions, and growth from the perspective of future capabilities to facilitate opportunities such as employment.
Hyundai Marine & Fire initiated this project in response to concerns about the decreasing opportunities for young people to gain work experience and grow. According to the Statistics Korea's Economic Activity Population Survey, the number of young people who were 'inactive' reached 680,000 in August, with youth employment down by 143,000 compared to the same month last year.
The company plans to support young people in systematically recording their problem-solving, collaboration, and execution skills, and to establish a system that companies can use for competency assessments during hiring processes.
A partnership with SK has also been formed. Both companies jointly reviewed the overall planning process, including business direction and execution structure, from the project's conceptual stage. The nonprofit organization Root Impact has been selected as the operating agency, with participation from Enactus and Jump.
Jung Kyung-sun, Chief Sustainability Officer of Hyundai Marine & Fire, stated, "We aim to provide quality experiences to more young people and create a foundation where those experiences lead to greater roles in society rather than just a line on a resume."
