[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province has been selected for the Ministry of Employment and Labor's '2020 Regional Industry Customized Job Creation Support Project' and secured 420 million KRW in national funding.

This project is an education and training program where local governments and non-profit organizations collaborate to train customized personnel tailored to regional industry demands and connect them to employment, aiming to resolve job mismatches.

The projects selected in this competition include ▲ Bucheon Region High-Road Type Strategic Industry Mold Employment Promotion Project (Mold) ▲ 4in1 Convergence Accounting Office Personnel Supply Project (Accounting Office) ▲ Packaging Beauty Workforce Training Project (Packaging) ▲ Youth Beauty Hair Planner Training Project (Hair), totaling four projects.

Among these, the Bucheon Region High-Road Type Strategic Industry Mold Employment Promotion Project and the 4in1 Convergence Accounting Office Personnel Supply Project received the highest S grade in last year's Ministry of Employment and Labor evaluation, gaining job seekers' trust with high employment rates relative to training periods and securing competitiveness in the new workforce recruitment market.

The city plans to recruit and select trainees for each project and conduct customized training focused on practical fieldwork.

A Bucheon City official stated, "We will do our best to ensure this becomes a substantial education and training project to solve local employment issues."
