Yangsan-si Launches 2021 On-Site Youth Work Experience Project... First Implementation Targeting Small Business Owners' Workplaces

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Yangsan City, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 22nd that it will promote the ‘2021 Yangsan Youth Work Experience Pre-Job Project.’

This project is a youth employment policy focusing on differentiation and effectiveness, such as expanding small business owners’ workplaces as work experience sites. It is expected to contribute to the win-win development of the local economy by providing young people with on-site job experience opportunities and supporting labor costs for workplaces to create youth private-sector jobs.

The recruitment period for workplaces is from the 26th to May 7th. Small business owners’ workplaces, companies, and welfare facilities that want to provide work experience that can incorporate youths’ majors, certifications, etc., or offer various work experience opportunities can participate.

However, participation is restricted for national and local government agencies, public institutions, workplaces with wage arrears, and workplaces providing simple serving, customer service, or clerical assistance tasks.

Applications for participation can be submitted by email, fax, or in person to the Yangsan City Job Economy Division along with the application form and required documents. Recruitment and selection will be conducted according to the selection criteria table, and among the selected workplaces, youths who wish to participate will apply for 1st to 3rd preferences and be matched through a lottery program.

The city supports the labor costs (based on minimum hourly wage) for youth participants at the workplaces. In particular, small-scale small business owner workplaces with high employment burdens will be selected to receive an additional monthly 100,000 KRW per social insurance workplace and 5,000 KRW daily snack allowance for participants. Workplaces will be responsible for providing work experience, attendance, and safety management after signing labor contracts.

The recruitment period for youths is from May 20th to 28th. The target is unemployed youths aged 19 to 39 residing in Yangsan as of the announcement date.

Participants should submit the application form and required documents by email or in person to the Yangsan City Job Economy Division. Applicants must carefully check the list of participating workplaces in the announcement and be sure to write their 1st to 3rd preferred workplaces on the application form.

For more detailed information, please refer to the notices and announcements section on the Yangsan City website.

Mayor Kim Il-kwon of Yangsan said, “As this is a good opportunity for youths, small business owners, and companies to grow together during a difficult time due to the contraction of the employment market, I hope workplaces and youths from various fields will participate.”
