Gangwon Land held the "2026 Gangwon Land Mentoring Scholarship Dream Boosting Camp" from the 5th to the 7th at the Grand Hotel of High1 Resort, targeting future talents from seven cities and counties in coal industry transition zones.

This camp was designed not merely for emotional networking but to allow over 100 participants—including high school students (Hyedi) and college student mentors (Hysam) from coal industry transition zones—to directly explore the region's future value and expand their self-capabilities across multiple dimensions.

Notably, this year's camp featured a distinctive "Local Talk Concert" with social mentors driving innovation on the ground in coal industry transition zones.

In addition, participating students experienced immersive linked programs over two nights and three days, including personal capability analysis using professional assessment tools, training in emotion-elevating dialogue techniques, on-site job experience mentoring with Gangwon Land employees, and a team-building event called "Hi! Sports Day" based on physical activities.

A Gangwon Land official told this newspaper by phone, "We have strengthened locally based capability enhancement programs so that regional youth can build pride and new possibilities in their own hometowns within coal industry transition zones."
