[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 7th that it will select 100 participants in two rounds of 50 each for the "Happiness Connection" learning coordinator program at the New Middle-aged Officer School, which prepares for the second act of life this year, and provide customized jobs.

The eligible candidates are retirees and unemployed individuals aged 50 to under 70 with more than 3 years of relevant experience. They must complete the New Middle-aged Officer School learning coordinator course, an 8-session reemployment training program.

Applicants can apply online through the Daegu Lifelong Learning Portal website from the 15th to the 26th. For more details, refer to the Daegu City Hall website. The tuition fee is fully free.

The learning coordinators who are finally selected after completing the course will be dispatched to lifelong education institutions for 20 hours per week (4 hours per day, within 320 hours annually) to take charge of education and quarantine duties. Participants will be paid 8,720 KRW per hour (the 2021 minimum wage) plus allowances.

Kang Myung-sook, Director of the Women's and Youth Education Bureau of Daegu City, said, "We hope this will help the pre- and post-retirement generations who have lost jobs or whose economic activities have slowed due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation to open a successful second act of life by providing customized education and jobs."
