Dongjak-gu conducted a professional creator training project last year.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) will promote the ‘Dongjak-gu-type Small Business D.N.A. (Digital. Network. AI.) Enhancement Support Project’ until December.

This project, with a budget of 300 million KRW, was prepared to provide digital experts to local small business owners who find it difficult to immediately respond to social structural changes such as the spread of non-face-to-face interactions due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the acceleration of digital transformation, inducing changes and adaptation in business methods, and contributing to youth job creation.

First, from January 26 to February 1, the district will recruit local small business owners who need to expand (transition) their business methods to online and non-face-to-face formats or have difficulty hiring digital field experts.

Small business owners wishing to participate should submit a digital field recruitment job plan, proof of business status, and working environment documents via email to the person in charge (kmj1907@dongjak.go.kr).

In February, the district will review and notify selected companies based on ▲financial status of the applicant companies ▲willingness to operate the business according to changes ▲feasibility and overall understanding of the project.

Additionally, from March, the district will recruit unemployed youth aged 19 to 39 residing in Dongjak-gu, match them with small business owners, and officially start the project from April.

The work schedule is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and the digital job fields include ▲marketing digitalization through online platform and content production and management ▲non-face-to-face customer support due to the establishment of non-face-to-face distribution platforms such as digital payment environments ▲support for building small business big data through information datafication and collection and analysis.

Yoon Soyeon, Director of the Job Policy Division, said, “Through this project, we will support the online and non-face-to-face transformation of businesses for local small business owners struggling due to COVID-19 and provide job experience opportunities for youth to revitalize the local economy.”
