Jeongeup-si, Recruiting 15 Additional Saeil Women Interns

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] The Jeonbuk Jeongeup Women's New Work Center announced on the 24th that it will recruit 15 additional Saeil female interns to help women whose careers have been interrupted due to marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare find employment.

The female internship program is a system aimed at improving quality of life and ensuring stable employment by supporting career-interrupted women who have been away from the workplace for a long time to adapt to working life.

When a participating company hires one female intern through an internship agreement with the Jeongeup Saeil Center, it receives a hiring subsidy of 800,000 KRW per month for three months.

Additionally, if employment is maintained for more than six months after the internship ends, the company receives an incentive of 800,000 KRW, and the intern receives 600,000 KRW.

Eligible interns are unemployed women registered with the Jeongeup Saeil Center, with priority given to low-income women, women with disabilities, marriage immigrant women, North Korean defectors, women-headed households, and single mothers.

Companies eligible for internship placement are those with 5 to fewer than 1,000 regular employees, enrolled in the four major social insurance programs, and paying wages above the minimum wage as stipulated by law.

Mayor Yoo Jin-seop said, “Since everyone is going through a difficult time due to COVID-19, I hope the ‘female internship’ program will be a good opportunity for companies facing employment crises and career-interrupted women,” adding, “We will continue to strive to increase women's economic participation and support their social re-entry.”
