As Part of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Public Contest Project... 199 Participants Over 6 Months

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 14th that it will implement the 'Untact Industry Youth Job Support Project,' which provides wage support when small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the untact (non-face-to-face) industry sector hire young people this year.

This project, promoted through the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's regional-led youth job contest selection, covers fields such as autonomous vehicles, robots, big data, and the Internet of Things.

If an SME in the untact (non-face-to-face) industry sector newly hires a youth aged 39 or younger, it will receive support of 2 million KRW per person per month for 10 months. Up to two people per company can apply. The expected number of hires is 199 across 17 cities and counties in the province.

The recruitment announcement for companies participating in this untact (non-face-to-face) industry youth job support project is posted on the Gyeongsangbuk-do Economic Promotion Agency website. The application period is until February 26. After evaluation in March, supported companies and youths will be selected.

Gyeongsangbuk-do's Bae Seong-gil, Director of the Job Economy Office, stated, "The core of preparing for the post-COVID era is untact, and the importance of untact-related industries will become even more prominent in the future." He added, "Through this project, we hope to achieve both stable job creation and the fostering of the untact industry."
