Gyeonggi-do to Launch Youth Hope Job Project in August... 404 Participants

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is promoting the 'Gyeonggi Youth Hope Job Project' to provide public jobs to young unemployed individuals and others in order to overcome the employment crisis caused by COVID-19 and to revive the stagnant local economy, following last year.

This project selects unemployed youth in the province who have lost jobs or face difficulties gaining work experience such as internships due to COVID-19, and places them in Gyeonggi Province offices, public institutions, and welfare facilities for four months, supporting their wages and career formation in their fields of interest.

The number of selected participants is a total of 404: 40 for Gyeonggi Province, 296 for public institutions (including 19 organizations such as the Gyeonggi Research Institute), and 68 for welfare facilities.

Youth aged 18 to 39 with an address in the province can apply. However, those currently participating in other job projects are excluded.

The recruitment period for participants in the province and public institutions is from the 1st to the 12th of this month, and applications can be submitted online through the Gyeonggi Job Foundation integrated application system. Welfare facility participants can apply via email on the Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation website from the 14th to the 23rd of this month.

The daily working hours and number of hires are ▲ 6 hours and 336 people for provincial government offices and public institutions ▲ 8 hours and 68 people for welfare facilities.

The wage is based on the Gyeonggi Province living wage standard, providing 10,540 KRW per hour along with the four major insurances and other allowances.

Selected participants will support provincial government tasks for four months from the 1st of next month to November 30th, cultivating practical work performance skills through various administrative work experiences.

Additionally, after the internship ends, participants can receive a certificate of career experience upon request.

Jung Hyun-ah, head of the Youth Welfare Policy Division of the province, said, "We hope the Gyeonggi Youth Hope Job Project will greatly help youth gain diverse work experience, strengthen employment capabilities, and support job-seeking activities."

Details about this project can be found in the notices and announcements section on the Gyeonggi Province website. For other inquiries, contact the Youth Welfare Policy Division of Gyeonggi Province.
