Workspace within the Women's Job Incubating Startup Space

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) opened the "Women's Job Incubating Startup Space" within the Sillim Women's Classroom (64 Daehak-gil, Gwanak-gu) on the 21st.

The "Incubating Startup Space" is a women's startup support space created by remodeling an aging unused area within the Sillim Women's Classroom to support women's economic independence, social participation, and startup activities.

In August last year, the district confirmed the "Women's Job Incubating Project" as a women's friendly city economic revitalization project and secured an additional budget of 32 million KRW for facility costs. Full-scale remodeling began, transforming the underground storage into a women's activity space, and an opening ceremony was held.

Going forward, the first resident of this space will be the joint workshop "Bombom (1st term)" consisting of five women, who will receive support for various startup-related activities. The district plans to support market development by linking products made by women, such as dolls, pouches, and eco-bags, with social economy markets and environmental sharing markets.

Additionally, to help women acquire competitive skills and strengthen their startup capabilities, technical education, vocational training, and job competency enhancement education will also be provided.

A district official stated, "We will do our best to ensure that the joint workshop 'Bombom,' the first resident of the job incubating space, develops business capabilities and eventually becomes independent as a social economy enterprise."

Moreover, the district plans to support regular meetings to encourage emotional exchange among active women and form self-help groups to inspire courage and will for economic and social independence between successful graduates and second-term entrants.

Furthermore, the district intends to gradually expand the Sillim Women's Classroom, which has mainly served career-interrupted women, into a "Work-Life Balance Support Center" that supports a life balancing work and family for women and all generations.

Mayor Park Junhee said, "I hope the Sillim Women's Classroom will synergize as a career-interrupted women's education institution and a women's job incubating space, establishing itself as a representative space for women's economic activities," adding, "We will spare no support for the incubating startup space to become a role model for independence for women facing difficulties in economic activities such as startups."
