Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, Recruiting Participants for Gwangsan Citizen Allowance Support Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 11th that it is recruiting participants for the ‘Job Again (job again) Gwangsan Citizen Allowance Support Project’ through social contribution.

The period is from the 13th to the 20th, and 92 people will be recruited for 8 projects.

The recruitment projects are ▲ Let’s Play Together Infant Playground Activity Manager ▲ Slow Learner Learning Manager ▲ Our Neighborhood Child Gap Caregiver ▲ Village Community Village Recording Team ▲ Healing in the Heart Small Library Book Activist ▲ Lifelong Learning Connection Manager ▲ Hub Collection Center Resource Circulation Manager ▲ Resource Circulation Interpreter with Future Generations, etc.

The recruitment target is career-interrupted women and middle-aged people (aged 45 to 64) with experience and qualifications for each project.

The Gwangsan Citizen Allowance is a Gwangsan-type job policy model that recruits Gwangsan-gu residents with experience and qualifications, links various social services and activities, and pays wages for them.

It was prepared to respond to the situation where the number of unemployed people is increasing due to the prolonged COVID-19 and the demand for essential social services is increasing, while moving away from the previous job project method that relied on national and city funds and promoting job policies tailored to the characteristics of autonomous districts.

Gwangsan-gu is the only one among the five autonomous districts in Gwangju to allocate a district budget of 440 million won and is promoting the Gwangsan Citizen Allowance support project to create jobs tailored to the autonomous district.

Following last year, this year, due to COVID-19, necessary social services are divided into three categories: ‘immunity, care, climate response,’ and a total of 15 detailed projects will be promoted to support the Gwangsan Citizen Allowance to a total of 319 people.

Unlike public jobs that prioritize the selection of low-income groups, the Gwangsan Citizen Allowance support project selects based on experience and qualifications.

Detailed eligibility requirements and selection criteria related to this participant recruitment can be found on the Gwangsan-gu website.

Kim Sam-ho, Mayor of Gwangsan-gu, said, “So far, the autonomous district’s job policy has been mainly focused on public job support for vulnerable groups and private company employment support, but the Gwangsan Citizen Allowance is a job project that fills the gap in the middle area,” and added, “It will be a leading model of autonomous district-type job projects.”
