[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Gyeongsangbuk-do launched a promotion council on the 29th for the 'Preemptive Employment Stability Package Project' and discussed the annual operation plans for each detailed project.

The council is composed of 20 members, including Vice Governor Jeon Wooheon as chairman, deputy heads of Gimcheon City, Gumi City, Chilgok County, and heads of local job-related organizations. It will serve as a control tower for overall important matters such as establishing mid- to long-term employment measures and regional job policies.

The Preemptive Employment Stability Package Project is a program that supports finance and consulting to proactively respond to employment stability by planning mid- to long-term job projects linked to industrial policies in regions where employment crises are anticipated.

To overcome the limitations of post-support after an employment crisis occurs and to promote efficient employment stability, the Ministry of Employment and Labor held a public contest for the first time this year. Gyeongbuk Province formed a consortium with Gimcheon, Gumi City, and Chilgok County to participate, and at the end of April, among 17 cities and provinces nationwide, five cities and provinces (Gyeongbuk, Incheon, Chungbuk, Jeonbuk, Gyeongnam) were finally selected.

In this regard, on the 1st of this month, Gyeongbuk Province signed a business agreement with the Ministry of Employment and Labor, Gimcheon City, Gumi City, and Chilgok County at the provincial office meeting room to successfully promote the 'Preemptive Employment Stability Package Project' and officially started the project.

Vice Governor Jeon Wooheon pledged, "In the reality where employment instability is becoming visible due to the unprecedented COVID-19 economic crisis causing a significant decrease in the number of employed persons, we will concentrate all our capabilities to protect even a single job and create one more job."
