[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon Port Authority is accelerating the revitalization of the local economy by promoting a community-based job project that connects specialized high school graduates with logistics companies at Incheon Port.


The authority announced on the 15th that it will implement the "Specialized High School Graduates-Logistics Companies Matching Support Project," which provides up to 6 million KRW in support when Incheon Port partner companies that need new hires recruit specialized high school graduates to create private sector jobs linked to the port.


This project reflects the results of a 2018 survey of 300 Incheon Port partner companies, where more than 60% of the companies preferred high school graduates as their preferred education level for prospective hires. It has been operated since last year as a customized job creation support program for companies.


Under the "3+3" system, a monthly hiring support of 1 million KRW is provided for 3 months during the internship period, and if converted to a regular employee (with a labor contract of one year or more), an additional 3 months of 1 million KRW per month is supported. If hired as a regular employee from the start, support is provided for 6 months.


The authority announced recruitment starting from the 13th, and hiring support applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for up to 5 people.



Ahn Gilsup, Head of the Job and Social Value Office at Incheon Port Authority, said, "This is an incentive promotion project that provides opportunities for specialized high school graduates in the Incheon area to work at Incheon Port partner companies," adding, "We will continue to develop new projects reflecting the difficulties of partner companies and strive to support the creation of quality jobs at Incheon Port."
