Gwangju Nam-gu, Recruitment of Companies Hiring Intern-type Self-Support Workers

Support of 1.35 Million KRW per Person per Month for up to 18 Months... Applications Open from the 11th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) is publicly recruiting '2020 Intern-type Self-Support Workers Hiring Companies' to promote the improvement of business conditions through job creation in the local community and wage support.

According to Nam-gu on the 8th, the 2020 Intern-type Self-Support Workers Hiring Company Support Project is a program where the district office supports wages for companies that hire basic livelihood security recipients and near-poverty class residents in the district as intern employees, according to the National Basic Livelihood Security Act.

This has the advantage of creating new jobs in the local community and improving the company's finances by reducing labor costs from the employer's perspective.

Employers are supported with a monthly wage of 1.35 million KRW per worker for six months, and support can be extended up to one year if employment is expanded.

Nam-gu plans to reflect the wages for 10 intern-type self-support workers and support each employing company accordingly.

Companies wishing to hire intern-type self-support workers can submit an application form from the 11th until the 10 assigned employment positions for intern-type self-support workers are fully placed at the workplace.

Eligibility includes small and medium-sized enterprises, individual businesses, and self-support enterprises located in Gwangju. If multiple companies in the same industry apply, companies located in Nam-gu will be given priority.

However, companies, enterprises, or representatives who have been penalized for fraudulent receipt of government self-support projects or violation of implementation guidelines in the past two years, or are under participation restrictions, or who have been sentenced to fines or higher penalties or imposed fines for violating the Labor Standards Act and Employment Security Act, cannot apply for this project.

In addition, industries and companies deemed inappropriate for the purpose of the project may be excluded from selection, and even if selected, the number of participants may not be assigned depending on the will of the self-support workers.

A Nam-gu official said, "We plan to recruit companies hiring 2020 intern-type self-support workers and participating intern employees within this month and start the project in earnest from July. We will support jobs for job seekers and wages for hiring companies so that both can develop together."
