Global Enterprise CEO Association (G-CEO) has pledged to become a key supporter to help talented students foster creative ideas for their career development.
The non-profit organization said Friday it has signed a partnership with Catholic Kwandong University, as part of efforts to give back to the local community by sharing business experience with students there.
Under the deal, G-CEO will form a bilateral cooperation model with the university, providing mentoring programs or special lectures to breed more entrepreneurs and help students develop career-related skills, the organization said.
"We will continue to build a sustainable ecosystem for talented youths, helping them not just start their own business but find what they really want to be," it said.
G-CEO was established in 2005 under a key theme of fostering future talent in Korea. Some 400 Korean and foreign CEOs from global firms are participating in the organization.
