Applications open until the 24th... Youth aged 18 to 39 with work ability eligible to apply... Work from August 3 to December 20, 5 days a week, 15 to 30 hours per week for 5 months

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Lee Chang-woo) is recruiting 43 participants for the ‘COVID-19 Overcome Youth Hope Job Project’ until the 24th.

This project was established to provide temporary jobs and income support to young people vulnerable to employment who are facing difficulties such as unemployment and business closures due to the recent COVID-19 situation, aiming to stabilize their livelihoods and revitalize the stagnant local economy.

Any Seoul youth aged 18 to 39 with working ability as of the project start date can apply. Priority will be given to low-income vulnerable groups, those needing livelihood support due to the local economic downturn, or young people who have lost jobs or whose businesses have been suspended or closed due to COVID-19.

Participants will be assigned to support tasks such as ▲operating sports facilities and public institutions ▲daily quarantine ▲implementing various policy projects ▲emergency public duties.

The district will prioritize the selected candidates’ preferred projects, but if there are no preferences or if preferences are concentrated in specific projects, assignments will be made considering previous jobs, specialties, and health conditions.

The working period is about five months from August 3 to December 20, with a principle of working 15 to 30 hours per week, five days a week, and the minimum hourly wage will be applied.

Residents who wish to participate should visit the Noryangjin Youth Job Center (190 Noryangjin-ro) by the 24th with the application form and supporting documents for vulnerable groups.

The district plans to finalize the selection of participants on the 31st after document screening and other procedures.

For more details, contact the Noryangjin Youth Job Center or the Job Policy Division of Dongjak-gu Office.

In June, the district completed recruiting 758 participants for the ‘COVID-19 Overcome Hope Job Project’ and has been actively operating by assigning them to ▲daily quarantine support ▲support for alleyway markets and small business recovery ▲emergency public duties, and plans to recruit an additional 450 people by September.

Jo Jin-hee, Director of the Job and Economy Division, said, "We will do our best to stabilize the livelihoods of young people vulnerable to employment who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 employment downturn and to help recover the local economy."
