[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yongsan-gu (Mayor Seongjang Hyun) is recruiting participants for the youth internship program from the 9th to the 11th as part of the 2021 district youth job project.

The aim is to provide local youth with workplace experience opportunities that utilize their majors and specialties.

The number of hires is 5, the period is 4 months, and the workplaces are two locations: Yongsan Craft Center (3 people) and the War Memorial of Korea (2 people).

At the Yongsan Craft Center, tasks include visual merchandiser (VMD), ceramic experience assistant instructor, video production and promotion, while at the War Memorial of Korea, duties include artifact organization and archive material management.

Work is from Tuesday to Saturday, 5 days a week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wages apply the 2021 district living wage (10,702 KRW per hour), amounting to about 2.4 million KRW per month.

Applicants must be Yongsan-gu residents aged 18 to 34 or graduates (or expected graduates) of universities located in Yongsan-gu, meeting the participation requirements for each recruitment field.

The Yongsan Craft Center prefers applicants fluent in foreign languages, capable of using video tools, or with work experience in related fields, while the War Memorial of Korea gives preference to assistant curators and records managers.

Youth wishing to participate must submit an application form, resident registration copy, proof of graduation (or expected graduation) from a university in Yongsan-gu, job registration certificate, and self-introduction letter to the Yongsan-gu Office Job and Economy Division (5th floor).

The district will notify successful candidates individually on the 19th after document and interview screening, and work will begin on the 23rd.

Mayor Seongjang Hyun of Yongsan-gu said, “It is increasingly difficult for students majoring in history, culture, and arts to find employment that matches their majors,” adding, “We want to support them so they can gain work experience in fields where job opportunities are limited.”

Over the past two years, the district has conducted youth internship projects, supporting 17 young people to work at places such as the War Memorial of Korea and foreign embassies in Korea.
