Gwangju Seo-gu, Prolonged COVID-19... Support for Corporate Labor Costs

Additional Recruitment for the ‘Confident Jobs, Grab My Job’ Project Until the 15th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Daeseok) announced on the 12th that it will additionally recruit companies to support the project "Confident Jobs, Grab My Job!" due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation.

The region-led youth job project "Confident Jobs, Grab My Job!" is a program that supports 80% of the labor costs for companies that hire youth, aiming to expand youth employment and support regional settlement.

Seo-gu selected project support targets in January, but due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, it decided to additionally select support targets to help alleviate financial difficulties of companies and create jobs for local youth.

Company selection is conducted in two stages: first, companies that applied for participation are selected through qualification screening, and then workplaces that have completed hiring youth as regular employees by the deadline are finally selected.

Selected companies will receive 80% of labor costs (up to 1.6 million KRW per month) monthly starting from July. For participating companies that meet certain conditions, project support will continue for up to two years.

Youth recruiting companies wishing to participate can refer to the announcement posted on the Seo-gu Office website (Public Notices) and submit the application form and required documents to the Seo-gu Office Job Policy Division by the 15th.

A Seo-gu official said, "The local economy is depressed due to COVID-19, and many people are having difficulties finding jobs," adding, "We hope that the additional selection of project targets will help overcome COVID-19 even a little."
