Seongdong-gu held a preliminary briefing session on mandatory legal education for employees of small ventures at Seongdong Anshim Shopping Mall on March 4.

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) has been supporting 'statutory mandatory education' for 285 workers from 28 social venture companies struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation since the 17th.

'Statutory mandatory education' refers to compulsory training conducted for workers in the workplace according to various laws to prevent accidents by creating a healthy working environment.

Last year, the district supported education for 169 workers from 21 companies, including tenants of the Social Venture Hub Center, for the first time to support the sustainable growth of social venture companies. The online format allowed safe participation, receiving high praise from participants.

This year, the program targets 28 social venture companies in the area, including tenants of the Social Venture Hub Center located in Seongsu-dong and companies awarded in last year's Innovation Competition.

Among them, 285 workers from participating companies who wished to join through a prior demand survey were selected, and a preliminary briefing session was held on March 4 to provide guidance on the curriculum and enrollment procedures.

Participating companies can also apply for education for newly hired employees throughout the year, expanding opportunities for participation.

The supported courses include four programs: workplace sexual harassment prevention, personal information protection, disability awareness improvement, and industrial safety and health education. These will be conducted online (via web or app) through a professional training institution designated by the Ministry of Employment and Labor until November this year.

Attendee Choi __ said, “With the prolonged COVID-19 situation and increased remote work, this kind of online education support program is practically helpful for companies in times like these.”

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, stated, “As COVID-19 is expected to continue for some time and preparation for the post-COVID era is essential, we will continue to develop support measures for social ventures using untact solutions.”
