Guro-gu Recruiting Students for Security Guard Employment Support Program

Nonstop Support Program Established from Education to Employment Connection to Revitalize Reemployment for Middle-Aged and Older Adults

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) is operating a ‘Security Guard Employment Support Program’.

Guro-gu announced on the 28th, “Reflecting the high job-seeking demand among middle-aged and older adults for security positions, we have prepared a security guard training course that supports everything from initial training to employment nonstop.”

The ‘Security Guard Employment Support Program’ will be held from September 14 to 16, with an 8-hour session each day for 3 days. It consists of theoretical education such as the Security Services Act and Crime Prevention Theory, and practical training including security office operations, accident prevention measures, and arrest and self-defense techniques. The tuition fee is fully supported by the district. However, the training schedule may change depending on the COVID-19 situation.

After completion, employment linkage support will be provided in cooperation with the Job Plus Center and entrusted organizations.

The training targets 40 residents aged 40 or older in the area. Those who wish to participate can apply at the Job Plus Center on the first floor of the district office by September 7.

Guro-gu also operated the Security Guard Employment Support Program twice last year. As of the end of last year, a total of 120 people completed the course, and more than half of them, 70 people, succeeded in finding employment.

A Guro-gu official said, “We expect this Security Guard Employment Support Program to help revitalize reemployment for the middle-aged and older adults who are vulnerable to employment,” and added, “We hope many residents preparing for their second act in life will show great interest and participation.”
