At 9 Women's New Work Centers in the Province

Unemployed women or women with career interruptions in Gyeongnam Province are receiving vocational training at the Women New Work Center.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongnam Province announced on the 2nd that it will operate vocational education and training programs for unemployed women, including career-interrupted women, through nine Women New Work Centers (Saeil Centers) in the province.

The Saeil Centers operate various vocational education and training courses such as general, specialized technical, and entrepreneurship courses to help unemployed women re-enter the workforce and settle into their jobs.

This year, they plan to recruit about 800 people for 40 courses, including online promotion marketer courses, startup entrepreneurship advanced academies, and pet food chef training.

First, they have organized various elderly-related programs, which are considered high-demand job fields, and opened eight courses such as Silver Health Instructor training, Senior Play Activity Instructor, and Elderly Exercise Instructor training.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they also opened practical training courses for professional personnel required in hospitals and social welfare facilities, including on-site practical training for hospital nursing assistants and reemployment courses for idle social workers.

Additionally, with the recent expansion of non-face-to-face marketing and increased interest in pet-related startups, new courses such as the advanced online promotion marketer course and pet food chef training course have been newly established.

Courses for cafe startup and manager training, as well as food maker solo entrepreneurship training, which have steady demand, will also be operated. In particular, this year, an advanced startup entrepreneurship academy course covering branding strategies, startup-related laws, and tax knowledge will be opened for women in their 20s and 30s interested in entrepreneurship.

For women on unpaid leave or whose income has decreased compared to the previous year due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, a specialized unpaid leave course for training promotional video producers (YouTube creators) will be operated.

Participants in the vocational education and training programs pay a self-payment fee of 100,000 KRW and receive a first refund of 50,000 KRW upon completion of the training. An additional 50,000 KRW will be refunded if they find employment or start a business within six months after the training ends. Transportation expenses are supported if attendance is 80% or higher.

Any unemployed woman aged 19 or older, including career-interrupted women in the province, can apply.

The courses offered and start dates at each Saeil Center can be checked on the metropolitan and city/county Saeil Center websites, and applications can be made through the respective Saeil Center websites or by visiting in person.
