Dongdaemun-gu Launches Initiative to Discover Youth Jobs in Post-Corona Era

Recruitment of Local Youth Job Project Participating Companies Until the 24th... Providing Opportunities for Job Experience and Skill Enhancement in Non-Face-to-Face and Digital Technology Workplaces

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) is recruiting companies to participate in the community-led youth job creation project to create jobs for young people.

The community-led youth job project is designed not only to provide young people with job experience opportunities to adapt to the rapidly changing employment environment in the post-COVID-19 era, but also to help companies enhance their competitiveness by hiring excellent young talent.

This project is open to companies and institutions within the region with five or more regular employees that can combine non-face-to-face and digital technologies with job experience and education in fields such as AI, cloud, AR/VR, or job experience using digital technologies such as online platform construction/management and big data analysis.

Companies and institutions wishing to participate must submit the project participation application form, operation plan, and participation condition compliance pledge by the 24th via email to the person in charge (smk1102@ddm.go.kr) and by registered mail (6th floor, Job Policy Division, 145 Cheonho-daero, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul).

The district office will select participating companies in March, finalize the selection of youth in early April, conduct basic training, and then assign them to full-scale work starting in May.

During the project period (6 months), the district will support up to 1.8 million KRW per month, which is 90% of the youth labor cost, and provide job competency enhancement training for youth working at the respective workplaces.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “The youth employment rate has significantly decreased due to COVID-19, making it necessary to actively create jobs for young people. Through this project, we will do our best to help our youth gain job experience and strengthen their employment capabilities so that it can lead to actual jobs.”

Detailed information can be found in the notices and public announcements on the Dongdaemun-gu website.
