Gwangju City Announces Recruitment for 'Community-Led Youth Job Project'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City is recruiting companies and youth to participate in this year’s ‘Region-led Youth Job Project.’

According to Gwangju City on the 14th, the ‘Region-led Youth Job Project’ is part of the government-wide ‘Comprehensive Youth Job Plan’ and has been a project since 2018 to discover and provide local jobs led by local governments with national funding support to respond to youth unemployment.

The non-face-to-face and digital sectors for local youth have been expanded to prepare for the changing employment environment due to COVID-19.

The recruitment targets a total of 16 projects including support for youth recruitment in non-face-to-face strategic industries, support for untact industry technical personnel, and digital and New Deal youth internship projects. Gwangju City plans to recruit 277 people for 7 projects and 147 people for 9 projects in autonomous districts. Participating companies will receive 90% of labor costs and additional support such as job training expenses.

The recruitment announcement is posted on the city’s website under notices and announcements. Since the recruitment period, eligibility, and support details differ by project operator, applicants should check the respective project implementing agency’s website.

Also, the Ministry of Employment and Labor has been accepting applications for the ‘Youth Digital Job’ project since the 8th.

The ‘Youth Digital Job’ project supports labor costs for companies that hire youth to create jobs in the information technology (IT) sector.

It will be implemented targeting 1,400 local youth to revitalize the youth employment market, which has been depressed due to COVID-19.

Companies wishing to participate in the project can apply by selecting an operating agency on the project website, and Gwangju is recruiting through 5 agencies.
