Recruitment of Participants for the 2021 Community Job Project in Gangseo-gu, Seoul

Recruiting 20 People for 5 Projects Including Multicultural Family Interpreter Assistance... Applications Open Until the 11th for Vulnerable Groups Aged 18 and Over

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) announced that it is recruiting participants for the ‘2021 First Half Local Community Job Project.’

The purpose is to help stabilize the livelihoods of residents who are willing to work but find it difficult to secure jobs due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Eligible participants are Gangseo-gu residents aged 18 or older whose household income is 65% or less of the median income and whose assets are less than 300 million KRW.

Youth (aged 18 to 34) and vulnerable employment groups (low-income individuals, persons with disabilities, etc.) will be given priority. However, duplicate or repeat participants are restricted from participating.

The project period is from February 1 to June 30, and a total of 20 people will be recruited for five projects: ▲ Oriental Medicine Soap Production ▲ Job Discovery Team ▲ Bicycle Repair Center Operation ▲ Multicultural Instructor Dispatch ▲ Multicultural Family Interpreter Assistant.

The ‘Oriental Medicine Soap Production’ project is a unique project implemented at the Heo Jun Museum, where participants will be responsible for producing lighting fixtures shaped like Heo Jun and female medical practitioners, as well as oriental medicine soap.

The ‘Multicultural Instructor’ and ‘Multicultural Family Interpreter Assistant’ projects were prepared reflecting the district’s status of having many marriage immigrant women and to meet related policy demands. Recruitment targets marriage immigrant women to support their employment and utilize their language skills and expertise.

The ‘Job Discovery Team’ and ‘Bicycle Repair Center Operation’ projects give preference to those with certifications and related technical skills.

Detailed information about the recruitment projects can be found on the Gangseo-gu Office website under News Plaza - Notices/Announcements.

Residents wishing to participate should bring their ID, application form, and documents proving career and preferential qualifications to their local community service center by January 11 to apply.

The district will select participants based on asset status, household income, and other selection criteria, and the final participants will be individually notified on January 28.

Participants will receive an hourly wage of 8,720 KRW, with additional payments for transportation, snacks, weekly holiday pay, and annual leave allowances.

A district official said, “We hope residents facing employment difficulties will benefit from this job project,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to discover jobs that vulnerable employment groups can participate in through various support policies.”
