Public Institution Innovation and Support for Financially Vulnerable Groups: Catching Two Rabbits🐰 with the Financial Services for the Underprivileged Online Education

💡 Public Institution Innovation Guidelines and Support Projects for Financially Vulnerable Groups

In 2022, the Ministry of Economy and Finance announced the ‘Public Institution Innovation Guidelines 2023’ to enhance the productivity and efficiency of public institutions, including personnel and operating expense reductions, and downsizing non-core tasks. Moreover, as societal awareness of the challenges faced by financially vulnerable groups, such as lack of financial information, increased, the need for financial education also emerged prominently.

There’s a successful example that achieved both public institution innovation and support for financially vulnerable groups👍, which is the online education by the Financial Services for the Underprivileged in collaboration with ZEP! Let’s take a closer look at how the Financial Services for the Underprivileged utilized ZEP and consider how we can apply this to our public institution innovation tasks❗

1️⃣A Successful Case of Metaverse Utilization by the Financial Services for the Underprivileged

💰 Limitations of Existing Support Projects for Financially Vulnerable Groups

The Financial Services for the Underprivileged conduct visits and online education for financially vulnerable groups and offer separate counseling services. However, no matter how important the education is, if students do not find it interesting, it’s hard to expect high effectiveness from the education.😮‍💨

Moreover, to provide support projects to more young people, online education is cost-effective, but the limitations of non-face-to-face interactions make in-depth counseling difficult, and proceeding with all face-to-face education involves significant costs, manpower, and time. But what if there was an online education platform that could reduce the cost burden and overcome the limitations of non-face-to-face counseling? It’s possible with ZEP! 😉

👍 Low-Cost, High-Efficiency Outcomes Possible

You might think the metaverse is too complicated or costly to start with?

Don’t worry! With ZEP, access is as simple as clicking a link🔗, and if you can operate arrow keys on a keyboard, anyone can use it easily. Plus, once a metaverse space is built on ZEP, it’s continuously usable. Since it’s not a one-time thing but rather can be used long-term, it’s much more economical than continuously hosting offline events.💰 In fact, many companies and public institutions are regularly utilizing spaces previously built on ZEP❗

Now, let’s take a closer look by exploring the Financial Services for the Underprivileged’s Metaverse Financial World! 🥰
