Gyeongbuk Province Holds 'Job Supporters' Launch Ceremony... Youth-Oriented Employment Guidance

37 Supporters Promote Local Job Information Tailored to 'Peer Job Seekers' Perspectives'

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do held the launch ceremony for the 'Youth Empathy Job Supporters' at the provincial government building's Hwabaek Hall on the 29th, awarding appointment letters to 37 supporters.

The supporters, who held the launch ceremony that day, will carry out team and individual missions over the next three months. They will create planned content focused on jobs in the Gyeongbuk region in video format on social networking services (SNS) to promote jobs in Gyeongbuk.

They will visit institutions executing regional industry-customized job creation support projects, such as the Gumi Electronics and Information Technology Institute, and conduct interviews with practical staff and project beneficiaries to investigate and analyze existing job projects and policies as 'Job Casters.'

After their activities, they will present result reports, engage in topic-based discussions, and receive expert feedback to derive improvement plans for job projects in the Gyeongbuk region. The ideas generated will be reviewed and consulted by employment experts and reflected in job policies.

Jeon Woo-heon, Deputy Governor for Economic Affairs, who attended the appointment ceremony, said, "Youth employment is experiencing an unprecedented crisis due to COVID-19," and added, "We will do our best so that the youth, who are the hope for the future, can nurture their dreams about jobs in Gyeongsangbuk-do."

Meanwhile, Gyeongsangbuk-do has established the '2020 Comprehensive Job Creation Plan' and plans to invest 1.0284 trillion won to create 113,600 jobs through 118 projects.
