Young People Invited to KF Eurasia Youth Academy

The Korea Foundation’s Korea-Central Asia Cooperation Forum Secretariat will invite young men and women to the Eurasia Youth Academy training this year during the month of April. The academy was launched last year to cultivate young experts specializing in Central Asia who can help support Korea’s progress in the region. It offers educational programs at home and abroad, fostering basic capability based on language skills and understanding of the region, conducting on-site studies and training through visits to regional spots and industrial firms, and providing overseas internships to build practical competence.

Preference will be given to candidates who have industrial or technical licenses that may be utilized in Central Asia, candidates from the legally prescribed social bracket for special consideration, and candidates who reside in provincial areas.
