Social Contribution Activity Support is a project that supports non-profit social services and volunteer activities, and is currently recruiting 121 people until the 26th.

The Career-type Jobs project selects 61 people with a certain level of experience and qualifications to provide direct jobs, and is preparing for elderly leisure and health support projects and resource circulation guide operation projects.

In addition, through the Bitgoeul50+ Job Support Project, 34 unemployed middle-aged people aged 45 to 64 will be selected to operate four programs: ▲Our Neighborhood Care Group ▲Visiting Play Wagon ▲Restroom Safety Keeper ▲Healthy City Activity Group, to help maintain careers and plan reemployment.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “We expect this to be an opportunity to support the increasing social activities of senior middle-aged people and the life redesign opportunities for middle-aged people whose careers were interrupted due to COVID-19,” and added, “We will continue to discover various projects and strive to revitalize the local economy through senior middle-aged people.”
