Registration Open for Participants in the ‘Jiyeokhwalryeok Plus Project’ Until the 9th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) announced on the 5th that it is recruiting participants to join the Local Vitality Plus Job Project to provide jobs to 225 residents, including vulnerable groups and unemployed people who are struggling with their livelihoods due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The Local Vitality Plus Job Project is a program designed for residents who are vulnerable or experiencing difficulties in securing stable living and self-reliance due to unemployment and business closures caused by COVID-19.

The job opportunities provided to residents include a total of 25 types, such as support tasks related to COVID-19 vaccination, maintenance of public parking lots and market environment in traditional markets, management of neighborhood sports facilities, disinfection and sterilization of multi-use facilities and hygiene-vulnerable facilities, and management of public facilities operated by the district office either on consignment or directly.

Participants in the Local Vitality Plus Job Project will work for 4 or 6 months starting from the 3rd of next month, depending on the type of job project they join.

Eligibility to apply includes residents aged 18 or older registered in Nam-gu who have the ability to work and belong to vulnerable employment groups or have experienced unemployment or business closure due to COVID-19.

However, residents who are participating in two or more job projects during the same period as the Local Vitality Plus Job Project or who submit false documents will be excluded from selection.

The final selected participants will be individually notified on the 29th, considering the total high scores per individual, property and income amounts, and experience in public job participation.

Applications will be accepted from today until the 9th at the Local Vitality Plus Job Project reception desks set up at the administrative welfare centers of the respective districts and on the first floor of the district office.

A Nam-gu official said, “The Local Vitality Plus Project is prepared to support residents who need livelihood assistance due to the local economic downturn. Especially since there are many types of job projects and age restrictions depending on the nature of the project, we ask applicants to carefully choose the job that suits them and apply.”
