The Savior of Labor Shortage During Busy Farming Season, Damyang-gun Agricultural Workforce Support Center Receives Praise from Locals
Damyang-gun Agricultural Workforce Support Center Plays a Major Role in Creating Rural Jobs and Alleviating Labor Shortages
[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 25th that the 'Damyang-gun Agricultural Workforce Support Center,' operated to resolve labor shortages caused by COVID-19 and aging population and to provide jobs for idle workers within the region and nearby residents, is receiving favorable reviews from the local community.
Since its opening in 2016, the Agricultural Workforce Support Center has connected over 11,000 job opportunities. Last year, it played a significant role in creating local jobs and alleviating labor shortages in rural areas by mediating about 2,100 agricultural labor cases for 168 farms and building a labor pool of 203 job seekers.
In particular, this year, a total project cost of 110 million KRW will be invested to mediate approximately 2,300 cases for farms in need of labor within the region.
For participants in farm work, welfare benefits for job seekers will be strengthened by providing ▲group accident insurance enrollment ▲distribution of farm work safety supplies ▲transportation cost support, and the center plans to do its best to support labor during the busy farming season.
The Damyang-gun Agricultural Workforce Support Center is located on the 2nd floor of the Dambit Agricultural Hall (730 Myeonangjeong-ro, Damyang-eup, next to the Agricultural Technology Center), and farmers in need of labor and job seekers can inquire at the Damyang-gun Agricultural Workforce Support Center or the Eco-friendly Agriculture Division of Damyang-gun Office.
