Since 2019, the district has been promoting the ‘Mapo-type Youth Job Project,’ which supports young talents by providing opportunities to strengthen job skills in their fields of interest and jobs that apply these skills to district administration.

This year, following 2020, a total of 50 young people will be hired in three fields: IT, broadcasting, and design.

Applicants must be Seoul citizens aged between 18 and 39 as of 2021 (born between 1981 and 2003), unemployed youth who majored in the relevant fields or completed related education.

The application period is until February 5, and after document screening, qualified candidates will undergo interviews from February 22 to 24, with final successful applicants announced on February 25.

The working period is about eight months from March to October, with a 40-hour workweek. The daily wage is 85,680 KRW, and the monthly pre-tax salary is approximately 2.27 million KRW. (Includes enrollment in the four major social insurances, paid weekly holidays, annual paid leave, and condolence leave.)

Meanwhile, the district has successfully promoted job creation models reflecting local characteristics, achieving remarkable results over the past two years.

In 2019, Mapo-gu conducted the nation’s first Mapo-type Youth Job Project linking font development and youth employment, where participants developed nine types of Mapo brand fonts. Last year, the district promoted projects for nurturing youth talents tailored to the 4th industrial revolution and local industries, resulting in youth performing various tasks and winning numerous awards in contests.

Mayor Yudonggyun of Mapo-gu said, “We will actively support many young people struggling to find jobs by providing systematic education programs utilizing local institutions and companies, and further support linking these to startups and employment, working together with our youth to solve the employment crisis.”
