ERC 재학생, 싱가포르 '전국 유스 경제인 대회' 결승전 진출

지난 2개월 간 치뤄졌던, 싱가포르 '전국 유스 경제인 대회(National Youth Entrepreneurs Competition)'에서 ERC Institute 한인 재학생들이 치열했던 예선 및 준결승까지 통과한 뒤 결승전까지 진출하였습니다.

'전국 유스 경제인 대회'는 현실적으로 창업으로 이어질 수 있는 창의적이면서 재미있고 혁신적인 제품과 서비스를 포함한 아이디어를 출품하여 젊은 사업가들을 더욱 더 양산하는데 목적을 둔 국가 대회입니다. 

우승한 아이디어는 몇 몇 단체에 의해 100% 현실화 됩니다.

결승전에 진출한 ERC Institute 한인 학생들의 팀명은 성황리에 종영한 '태양의 후예' 라는 드라마 제목을 패러디한 "Descendants Of ERCI(ERCI의 후예)" 로서, 오는 7월 16일 만 명 이상이 참석할 것으로 예상되는 Singapore Discovery Centre 에서 "한국 추억의 길거리 음식" 이라는 주제로 로컬 대학교, 폴리텍 등과 최종 결승 경쟁을 치르게 됩니다.

학교 간 라이벌 의식을 넘어서 같은 한국인 학생들이 해외에서 열심히 국가 홍보를 하고 있는 만큼 많은 성원과 관심, 응원 부탁드리겠습니다.

After 2 months of entering the initial stage to being shortlisted for the semi-finals,

we just received news that our team of Korean ERCI Student Council members are THROUGH to the National Finals of the Youth Entrepreneurs Competition!
 
This Youth Entrepreneurs Competition entails creating exciting and innovative products & services and aims to instill lateral thinking and raise budding entrepreneurs,

where students turn their business plans into reality. This competition also allows them to reconnect to the society by exposing them to social entrepreneurship

where 100% of their sales proceeds will go to their selected charity.
 
Our team name, ”Descendants Of ERCI” ,aptly titled after the popular Korean drama D.O.T.S, will be offering authentic Korean Street Food

(with a twist) and pit themselves against the local polytechnics, universities, ITEs and PEIs this coming 16th of July at the Singapore Discovery Centre,

where up to 10,000 visitors are expected on actual day.

This is also the 1st time that our students are participating in a National Level competition and if you know any of these students (in the photo below),

give them a pat on their back and say “sugohasyeosseoyo” (well done)!

While there is a number of judging criteria leading up to the final day of this competition, we need YOUR support for our students.

And there is certainly more than one way on how you can do so as we vie for the various awards and compete to be the Champion Youth Entrepreneur in this competition.

Team members will also be using digital marketing and social media to generate interest and drive up the popularity of their products & services.

We will be following up with more details on how you can SUPPORT our students.
