[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) is recruiting participating companies and job seekers until the 17th through the ‘Small and Medium Enterprise Youth Internship’ program, which supports up to 1.2 million KRW per month in labor costs for up to 3 months when hiring one intern.

This initiative aims to assist small and medium enterprises (SMEs) struggling with recruitment difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 crisis and to revitalize the sluggish employment market. The district has secured a budget of 3.015 billion KRW, the largest among autonomous districts, and plans to hire a total of 250 people throughout the year.

The ‘Small and Medium Enterprise Youth Internship’ program will be implemented in 10 rounds throughout the year.

This month, 50 interns will be recruited, and upon hiring, they will receive a monthly salary of at least 1.85 million KRW. The internship period ranges from March to the end of December, lasting up to 10 months (with a 7-month extension if converted to full-time employment).

Eligible applicants are SMEs with five or more regular employees planning new hires within the region. This year, venture companies with 2 to fewer than 5 employees are temporarily included.

Any unemployed youth aged 15 to 34 residing in Seoul can participate.

Companies and youth wishing to participate can complete the application and required documents and submit them by visiting the Gangnam-gu Chamber of Commerce or the Korea Exhibition Organizers Association in person, or by email or fax.
