Jangseong-gun Wins 'Excellence Award' in Local Government Job Awards

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] On the 5th, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it won the Excellence Award in the ‘2020 National Local Government Job Awards’ hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, securing prize money of 90 million won.

The ‘2020 National Local Government Job Awards’ is a system that evaluates the performance of 243 local governments nationwide in 2019 in building job infrastructure projects and job creation fields.

Jangseong-gun was highly evaluated for ranking first in the increase rate of employed persons within the province, second in employment growth rate, and third in the number of regular workers among Jeollanam-do’s employment indicators in 2019.

Jangseong-gun promoted various projects including ▲tourism-type job creation through color marketing (Hwangryonggang Yellow Flower Festival, Jangseongho Waterfront Trail) ▲establishment of future industry job bases (development of Advanced 2 District, promotion of National Cardiovascular Center establishment) ▲fostering economic farmers (implementation of food plan project, expansion and operation of local food direct stores) ▲providing healthy jobs as the ‘No.1 Silver Welfare’ area.

In particular, the linkage of the county’s key policy, ‘Yellow City’ color marketing, with job creation received significant attention.

Jangseong-gun presented a future-oriented model beyond the traditional method of expanding jobs through an increase in manufacturing companies by a ‘paradigm shift’ connecting culture, tourism, and job creation.

Yoo Doo-seok, Jangseong-gun Governor, said, “This award is the result of continuous collaboration among local residents, companies, institutions, and the county office departments,” and added, “The secured prize money will be invested in job projects to revitalize the employment market, which has been depressed due to COVID-19.”
