Last Year's Job Sharing Center Recruitment Fair

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jongno-gu (District Mayor Kim Young-jong) will operate the 'Jongno Job Plus Center' year-round this year for residents seeking jobs and local businesses looking to hire.

The center has contributed to revitalizing the local economy by establishing cooperative systems with local institutions and matching unemployed individuals or residents seeking jobs with positions suited to their aptitudes.

In addition to employment counseling and placement, the center provides information on vocational training, registers public workers seeking jobs, and issues employment counseling certificates. Operating hours are weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

This year, the Job Plus Center plans to continuously conduct employment support education aimed at increasing registrations of hiring companies and job seekers, focusing on strengthening the capabilities of job seekers.

Furthermore, based on business agreements with companies and organizations, the center aims to secure fixed hiring sources and collaborate with local universities, specialized high schools, and vocational training institutions to register capable job seekers.

Key projects include ▲‘Visiting Employment Counseling Room,’ which conducts employment counseling by visiting educational and welfare institutions ▲‘Visiting Recruitment Discovery Team,’ which assists with counseling and registration through phone calls and visits to hiring companies ▲Jongno-gu & Jogyesa Job Sharing Center Recruitment Fair ▲‘On-site Recruitment Fair,’ which matches companies with hiring needs and job seekers and provides interview opportunities ▲‘Resident Employment Support Education (Vocational Training),’ directly linked to employment ▲and discovering recruitment opportunities through business agreement companies.

Despite the prolonged COVID-19 crisis last year, the placement employment rate (number of placed employees relative to registered job seekers) reached 21%, showing a 4% increase compared to 2019.

Public and other employment also saw slight increases, resulting in an overall rise in the number of employed individuals compared to the previous year.

Kim Young-jong, Mayor of Jongno-gu, stated, “We have believed that jobs are the best welfare and have worked hard to create more and better jobs.” He added, “As part of this effort, the Job Plus Center provides customized employment support services free of charge to local businesses and residents, so we encourage those interested to make full use of it.”
