This year, certification courses have been added to prepare for the latter half of life through acquiring certificates. Applications are limited to workers, business owners, and residents of Dong-gu who are enrolled in employment insurance, and 100 participants will be recruited until the 31st. Tuition, material fees, and textbook fees are all free of charge.

Workers, those expecting retirement, and business owners who wish to enroll can download the application form from the Dong-gu Office website, fill it out, and submit it by visiting the Future Education Division or one of the 13 administrative welfare centers, by fax, or by email.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “With increased life expectancy, this is a great opportunity to plan reemployment and successful career transitions through life career design for the latter half of life,” and added, “We hope for active participation in this project prepared for working adults dreaming of a better future.”
