Haenam Employment Welfare Plus Center Opens Wando Branch Office

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced that it will establish a Wando branch office of the Haenam Employment Welfare Plus Center and start services from the 16th.

The branch office is located inside the Urban Regeneration Support Center under the county library, and staff from the Haenam Employment Welfare Plus Center will be stationed once a week on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to operate the office.

The opening of the Wando branch office is significant in preparing in advance for the implementation of the "Korean-style Unemployment Assistance" National Employment Support System scheduled for January next year, while also alleviating the time and economic inconveniences for Wando residents who would otherwise have to travel to Haenam, thereby enhancing the convenience of employment services.

Until the end of this year, services will mainly focus on supporting the self-reliance of basic livelihood security recipients and the Employment Success Package project, and from next year, plans are in place to systematically expand livelihood support and customized employment support services for vulnerable groups.

Meanwhile, the National Employment Support System is a "Korean-style Unemployment Assistance" program that provides both employment support services and livelihood support to vulnerable employment groups such as low-income job seekers, young new unemployed, women with career interruptions, and middle-aged and older adults.

The existing Employment Success Package and Youth Job-Seeking Activity Support Fund have been integrated into the National Employment Support System to operate as a comprehensive employment support program for vulnerable employment groups, and under the enforcement of the "Act on Promotion of Employment for Job Seekers and Support for Living Stability," it is expected to serve as a secondary employment safety net for those outside the scope of employment insurance.

A county official stated, "With the opening of the branch office, residents can now receive various employment services such as job support," and added, "We will do our best to support employment and create jobs through smooth operation of the branch office in cooperation with the employment center."
