Samsung Electronics Service, support for self-reliance of youth from multicultural families... Delivered educational support.

Samsung Electronics Service is actively carrying out social contribution activities to help young people from multicultural families become self-reliant.

On the 19th, Samsung Electronics Service delivered 24 million won in educational support to 80 youths from low-income multicultural families.

Educational support is a system in which the company provides matching grants with donations voluntarily raised by executives and employees to alleviate the burden of youth from multicultural families who have difficulties in studying for economic reasons. Starting with the support of 50 youths from multicultural families in the Gyeonggi region in 2020, the target area and number of people have been expanded to 80 nationwide this year.

In addition, the Suwon Global Youth Dream Center is operating the 'Vision Class', an IT application education course for teenagers from multicultural families for three months from September 14th.

In the 'Vision Class', Samsung Electronics service instructors participate in talent donations and are actively supporting them to improve their IT skills, such as △using office programs such as PPT and Excel, and△checking basic computer skills.

In a situation where non-face-to-face competencies such as IT usage skills have become more important due to COVID-19, the purpose is to provide practical help to youths from multicultural families with their academic and employment competitiveness, and students are also actively participating in the education.

Ha Seung-bin, a 19-year-old Nepali student who participated in the training, said, “I am happy to learn how to use a computer that is very helpful for my studies and daily life.

Samsung Electronics Services also supports psychological counseling and treatment for children of multicultural families who are prone to psychological instability due to language and cultural differences during adolescence.

Since 2020, about 100 elementary school students from multicultural families annually are receiving help for psychological stability through professional psychological counseling and music and art healing programs with the support of Samsung Electronics Services.

Kim Jeong-hoon, head of the win-win growth team at Samsung Electronics Services (Managing Director), said, “We hope that it will be of some help to the children of multicultural families to develop their dreams. Samsung Electronics Service will actively promote various social contribution activities that return the love received from customers to society.”
