Opening of the 'Gwangyang City Shinjoongnyeon Job Center' Supporting Employment for Middle-Aged Adults

Support for New Middle-Aged Jobs Including Job Matching through Job Analysis, Career Change and Transfer Support, and Entrepreneurship

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City, Jeonnam, announced on the 18th that it has opened the ‘Gwangyang City New Middle-Aged Job Center’ on the first floor of the Workers' Welfare Center building in the Middle East, covering an area of 378㎡, to support jobs for the new middle-aged group (40-65 years old).

Last year, with a budget of 200 million KRW secured through a public contest for establishing a New Middle-Aged Job Support Center by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in consortium with the Gwangyang Bay Area Job Project Group, the Gwangyang City New Middle-Aged Job Center was established, consisting of ▲social contribution spaces such as finance and legal services ▲startup support spaces including office and communication for prospective entrepreneurs ▲career-type job spaces such as counseling and employment ▲agriculture-linked spaces including smart farms and practical training facilities.

This year, the center plans to create 300 jobs through three projects: ▲career-type jobs (corporate management consulting, economic management professional counseling, village environment technical resources, etc.) for 20 people ▲social contribution activity support (character education, volunteer activities, etc.) for 80 people ▲job training and career analysis job matching for new middle-aged workers for 200 people.

Jang Hyung-gon, Head of Investment and Job Division, said, “We will provide professional and systematic job support through the New Middle-Aged Job Center so that retirees or unemployed new middle-aged people residing in Gwangyang City can settle in the region with a stable life.”

Meanwhile, since last year, Gwangyang City has been linked with the Gwangyang Bay Area Job Project Group to analyze the jobs of the new middle-aged group and systematize the data for the first time in Jeonnam, successfully placing 75 people in jobs, becoming a model case for other regions.
