Suwon City to Resume Job Projects Suspended Due to COVID-19

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province is resuming job projects that were halted due to the spread of 'COVID-19'.

Suwon City announced on the 14th that it will operate employment support programs and vocational training programs, which had been postponed due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19, as planned, and will expand public job projects targeting vulnerable employment groups.

In addition, the city plans to strengthen the cooperation system among job-related organizations to actively support early-stage startup companies.

Accordingly, on the 3rd of next month, the city will hold the 'Hope Workplace Job Fair Day' event and will host a large-scale job fair during April.

Earlier, on the 13th, Suwon City held a COVID-19 response measures meeting with representatives from job collaboration organizations at Suwon City Hall to review the status of local job initiatives. Administrative support measures for job creation were also discussed.

The attendees agreed that it is desirable to proceed with the planned job projects normally, but since citizens still have concerns, they decided to strictly adhere to infectious disease prevention guidelines when operating the programs.

Lee Seong-ryul, the city's Job Policy Officer, emphasized, "Due to the recent outbreak of COVID-19, both production and consumption have contracted simultaneously, signaling a red light for the local economy. We will contribute to revitalizing the local economy by carrying out job projects without disruption."
