[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) is operating a special employment support project, a training course for new general security guards, targeting middle-aged and older adults who are having difficulty job hunting due to employment stagnation caused by COVID-19 and other factors.

The general security guard training is aimed at residents aged 40 to 65 who intend to work as security guards. From June to October, a total of 90 people will be recruited over three sessions, and the program will be offered completely free of charge.

Each session will recruit 30 people on a first-come, first-served basis, and 30% of the recruits will be preferentially selected from vulnerable groups.

The main content of the training includes mandatory legal education required for security guard employment such as the Security Services Act and crime prevention theory, elevator safety manager training, and a career design and job seeker course.

Additionally, to facilitate employment after completing the training, practical job placement services such as one-on-one counseling through the Job Center will be provided to ensure connection to employment.

The recruitment period for the first session of the security guard training is from May 31 to June 9, and the training period is from June 21 to 25, consisting of a total of 34 hours over 5 days.

Applications can be submitted in person at the Job Center on the first floor of Dongdaemun-gu Office. For more details, please refer to the Dongdaemun-gu Office website or contact the Job Policy Division of Dongdaemun-gu Office.

Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “We will continue to develop employment capacity-building programs so that middle-aged and older job seekers who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic can succeed in finding employment,” and added, “We will do our best to ultimately connect these efforts to actual employment.”
