The district plans to recruit a total of 306 people for 14 projects including ▲Job Coordinator ▲Cultural Heritage Site Exploration Environment Improvement ▲Songpa Dullegil Facility Management ▲Support Project for Marriage Immigrant Women ▲Love House Decoration Project, which is the largest number among the 25 autonomous districts in Seoul.

Priority will be given to employment-vulnerable groups such as special employment workers and freelancers who lost their jobs or businesses or whose income sharply declined due to COVID-19. The results will be individually notified only to those selected on October 26.

Participants will work about 4 to 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, from November 1 to December 20 for approximately 2 months. The wage is 8,590 KRW per hour, and a snack allowance of 5,000 KRW will be paid separately.
