2020.02.21
Yoonse Park, Johyun Yoon, Sora Lee and Jisu Jeong from the graduate school of Ewha’s social economy co-op program received the grand prize in Sejong Entrepreneurship Contest. Co-hosted by Sejong Cyber University, Sejong University, Seoul City and Gwangjin-gu, the contest was on ideas and business proposals for various fields including food service entrepreneurship, 1-person entrepreneurship, senior entrepreneurship and IT·distribution·technology.
The team of Ewha students received the grand prize with a social welfare on-site training platform ‘P.ti’. P.ti stands for Social Welfare Practice Supporter and is a social welfare on-site training support platform that provides information on institutions, training reviews and trainee community for social workers and trainees. In the process of suggesting a solution to problems of social welfare on-site training, the team got a high score and received the grand prize by thoroughly analyzing interested parties and presenting the logic behind entrepreneurship and detailed business direction.
During a team project with classmates from her major course ‘Actual Entrepreneurship of Social Economy’, Yoonse Park decided to participate in the contest to find out about the demand from the field and see if the idea can be put into practice. She said “Posing the exact problems and determining the needs was possible thanks to the teammates’ experience. Based on these findings, we could devise detailed items appropriate for users’ needs. With the help from our academic adviser (Sangmi Cho, professor of social welfare department, teaching Actual Entrepreneurship of Social Economy course) and mentors, we were able to meet the interested parties and develop our project into a service that is essential to them.”
