[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Dae-seok) announced on the 9th that it is recruiting 'Hope Work Support Project Participants' for citizens in vulnerable employment groups and those in need of livelihood support due to COVID-19.

This support project is included in the government's 2nd supplementary budget and is a public job project promoted by local governments to overcome the COVID-19 crisis for vulnerable groups.

Seo-gu plans to select a total of 473 people for 33 projects closely related to residents' lives, such as vaccine support, daily quarantine, youth administrative internships, and maintenance of public rest areas.

Eligibility for participation includes Seo-gu residents with a median income of 70% or less, female heads of households, vulnerable employment groups, and those who have lost jobs or closed businesses due to COVID-19 and need livelihood support due to the regional economic downturn.

Residents wishing to participate in the project can visit the administrative welfare center in charge of their address or the Job Center on the 1st floor of Seo-gu Office with their ID card from the 12th to the 19th to apply.

Residents selected for the Hope Work Support Project will receive wages of about 1 million KRW per month (hourly wage of 8,720 KRW, based on 4 hours of work) along with enrollment in the four major social insurances.

A Seo-gu official said, "We hope this support project will help stabilize the lives of vulnerable groups and residents struggling due to COVID-19, even if only a little," and added, "We will continue to work organically with the government and Gwangju City to stabilize residents' lives and revitalize the local economy."
