The 4th Industrial Revolution IT Workforce Job Creation Support Project is a Ministry of the Interior and Safety public contest project aimed at expanding youth employment and alleviating the financial burden on companies as part of the Korean New Deal project, to revitalize the local economy and accelerate the transition to a digital economy.
Last year, the district applied for the 2021 Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s region-led youth job project to create quality youth jobs and secured 224 million KRW in national funding.
Then, last month, in response to the youth employment cliff caused by COVID-19, the district publicly recruited companies planning to hire IT personnel as regular employees and finally selected 20 companies.
The selected companies are ▲Gukseong Co., Ltd. ▲Nabirang ▲Noah Cosmetic Co., Ltd. ▲Daesung Pipe Co., Ltd. ▲Lajen Co., Ltd. ▲Sangsangneomeo Co., Ltd. ▲Wooyeon System Co., Ltd. ▲Wiz CNI Co., Ltd. ▲Inforex Co., Ltd. ▲TN Global Co., Ltd. ▲KBiz Co., Ltd. ▲Gukjin Industrial Development Co., Ltd. ▲Daum Information Co., Ltd. ▲Design Tox ▲M1 Communication ▲Jeotgarak Steak Gupda Co., Ltd. ▲Jeongwon System Co., Ltd. ▲Cheil Worldwide ▲Taeyoung Tax Corporation ▲House Mamma, etc.
The district will recruit job-seeking youth for these companies and plans to select the final successful candidates through a public interview between companies and youth on February 4th.
Eligibility requires unemployed youth aged 39 or younger residing in Gwangju Metropolitan City as of the announcement date who wish to be employed in IT-related jobs.
Youth hired through this project will receive various benefits including regular employment, incentives up to 10 million KRW, employment retention bonuses, self-development support funds, and job training.
Youth wishing to participate can refer to the announcement on the Seo-gu Office and Seo-gu Job Center websites and submit the application form to the Seo-gu Job Policy Division.
If prior registration is not possible, on-site registration is also available on the day of the public interview, February 4th.
