Applications start on the 28th on a first-come, first-served basis... Career-interrupted women empowerment training promoted... Customized job creation tailored to life cycle stages

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) is conducting general security guard training to solve the unemployment problem among middle-aged and older generations, create jobs, and provide a stable livelihood.

The training targets unemployed residents of Dongdaemun-gu aged 40 to 65 and will recruit on a first-come, first-served basis from the 28th to October 6th at the Job Center on the first floor of Dongdaemun-gu Office.

A total of 66 people will be selected, and the training will be conducted in two sessions: from October 13th to 16th (33 people) and from November 10th to 13th (33 people). Thirty percent of the recruits in each session will be prioritized for vulnerable groups.

The tuition is completely free, and the training will be entrusted to a general security guard training institution designated by the National Police Agency.

The main training content includes legally required subjects necessary for security guard employment such as the Security Services Act and Crime Prevention Theory, as well as elevator safety manager training covering general knowledge of elevators, laws, operation, and handling, providing useful lectures applicable to security work.

The district office plans to provide employment referral services, including one-on-one counseling linked with the district job center, so that graduates do not just complete the training but also connect to employment.

Additionally, the district operates customized employment training courses to strengthen the employment capabilities of women with career interruptions. In July this year, a historical and cultural experience guide training course was opened, with 21 people completing the training, and since September 16th, a silver care expert training course has been recruiting a total of 22 people and conducting training.

Meanwhile, the district has achieved notable results by continuously collaborating with related organizations such as the Dongdaemun Women's Human Resources Development Center and the Job Center to link education completion to employment, with 17 people successfully employed so far.

Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “We have conducted general security guard training to provide stable jobs for middle-aged and older generations. We will continue to discover customized training courses that can provide practical help to job seekers by generation, such as women with career interruptions and middle-aged and older people, and do our best to connect them to meaningful jobs.”
