Ministry of Employment Accepts Applications for 'Job Creation Merit Government Awards' for One Month... Awards Ceremony in December

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Ministry of Employment and Labor will accept applications for the '2020 Job Creation Merit Government Awards' from the 3rd to the 31st of this month.

The Job Creation Merit Government Awards have been implemented since 2009 to honor individuals and organizations from various sectors who have contributed to job creation.

The ministry plans to actively identify and reward individuals and organizations with significant achievements in increasing jobs or leading improvements in job quality across different areas of society.

In particular, individuals and organizations that have taken the lead in creating good jobs through efforts such as reducing working hours, practicing work-life balance, converting non-regular workers to regular positions, and expanding youth employment (including overseas expansion) will be eligible for government awards.

Individuals and organizations wishing to receive the Job Creation Merit Government Awards can submit application documents such as merit reports to local employment and labor offices or the Human Resources Development Service of Korea according to their respective fields. Any citizen who wishes to recommend a meritorious individual or organization can do so through the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s website.

After the application and recommendation submissions, the award recipients will be selected through procedures including public verification in October and merit evaluation, with an awards ceremony scheduled for December this year.

Kim Young-jung, Director of Labor Market Policy at the Ministry of Employment and Labor, stated, "We will strive to find and widely publicize the meritorious individuals who have quietly contributed to solving job issues and improving the quality of life for the people."
