Yangcheon-gu, Recruitment of Companies and Interns for the Youth Internship Program

Recruitment of 'Participating Companies' until June 5, 'Unemployed Youth' until June 17

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) is operating the 'Youth Internship Program' to provide employment opportunities for young people and alleviate the financial burden on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and is recruiting SMEs and youth to participate in the program.

The Youth Internship Program is a job creation project that supports companies hiring unemployed youth who are struggling to find jobs by providing 50% of the youth intern salary per person, up to a total of 6 million KRW over 6 months (with a monthly limit of 1 million KRW).

Since 2012, Yangcheon-gu has supported a total of 38 people with over 209 million KRW.

The qualifications for companies participating in the Youth Internship Program are SMEs located in Seoul under the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises, with at least 5 regular employees, a plan to convert interns to full-time employees after the internship period, and the ability to pay interns a monthly salary of at least 1.8 million KRW.

The qualifications for youth interns are unemployed individuals aged between 15 and 34 as of the announcement date (May 11) with an address in Yangcheon-gu. University students are excluded from eligibility. However, those who have completed the required courses for graduation and are on leave or vacation just before graduation, as well as those enrolled in broadcasting, correspondence, cyber, or night schools, are eligible to apply.

Companies wishing to participate can refer to the announcement on the Yangcheon-gu website and submit the participation application form (for companies) and required documents via email to the person in charge at jieun1003@yacheon.go.kr.

Youth wishing to participate can refer to the recruitment information for each company posted in the notices section on the Yangcheon-gu website, fill out the intern application form (for interns), and submit it to the desired company by visit, mail, fax, or email.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “The Youth Internship Program is a win-win opportunity for companies to discover talent and receive support. Since it is also a great chance for youth to be converted to full-time employees after the internship period, we hope for active participation. We will continue to work hard to create breakthroughs in youth employment difficulties by actively operating various employment support programs along with wage support.” Department of Job Economy
