[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 4th that it will recruit local companies and youth to participate in this year's region-led youth job project.

The region-led youth job project is a youth support program organized by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Gyeongsangnam-do, and Changwon City, which provides jobs at a level that allows youth to build assets for settling in the region.

This year, the city plans to implement nine projects under the region-led youth job project, including seven projects providing jobs for regional settlement support and two projects offering non-face-to-face/digital work experience and professional education opportunities, creating youth jobs for 246 existing participants and 141 new participants.

Recruitment and selection of participating companies will be conducted within this month, and selected companies must hire youth (under 39 years old) within one month.

When announcing recruitment for youth hiring, public recruitment must be conducted through authorized institutions such as Saramin and Worknet.

The public recruitment applies only to new hires after the announcement date of participating company recruitment.

Participating companies and youth in the regional settlement support projects will receive monthly wages of approximately 2 million KRW and transportation expenses of 100,000 KRW for up to two years, with a company co-payment condition of 10%.

Youth selected for the project who move into Changwon City from outside the area will receive up to 300,000 KRW additionally as a housing settlement allowance.

Also, if the participating youth are hired as regular employees at the same workplace within three months after the two-year support period ends, an incentive of up to 10 million KRW will be provided.

For more details regarding the region-led youth job project, inquiries can be made to the city's Job Creation Division.
