Seocho-gu Food Service Self-Support Group 'Guksunamu Green' Opens

First Implementation of Food Service Unit in Former Self-Support Project Provides Jobs to 9 Low-Income Vulnerable Individuals, Establishing a Foundation for Self-Support and Independence

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) opened the Seocho Regional Self-Sufficiency Center (Director Myungjae Jeon) dining business group "Guksunamu Green" (189 Cheonggyesan-ro, 1st floor) on the 15th to support the independence of low-income vulnerable groups.

The Seocho Regional Self-Sufficiency Center is an institution designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare that encourages the self-sufficiency motivation of low-income people with working ability and supports employment training and skills so that they can become independent through employment. Since May 2016, it has provided jobs to a total of 91 people in 10 businesses including laundry business group, convenience stores, and logistics delivery business group, supporting their self-sufficiency.

The newly launched dining business group, Guksunamu, involves a total of 9 vulnerable workers who will receive specialized training related to dining, such as cooking skills, know-how, and customer service.

The franchise dining business "Guksunamu" is semi-prepared, making food preparation relatively easy compared to other dining businesses, allowing participants to easily acquire skills. It has advantages such as securing competitiveness by utilizing brand power and enabling professional store management through the franchise headquarters.

Participants in Guksunamu range from those with experience in dining business management to those hoping to be employed in the dining sector. They plan to steadily achieve short-term goals such as obtaining a chef’s license and long-term goals such as self-sufficiency and employment.

Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Jo said, “We will support each participant to achieve their dreams for a better future through the district’s self-sufficiency projects,” and added, “We will continue to expand employment sectors that meet the characteristics of the region and the needs of participants.”

Participation in Seocho-gu’s self-sufficiency projects can be inquired about at the Seocho Regional Self-Sufficiency Center or the Social Welfare Division of Seocho-gu Office.
