[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) is operating a special employment support project, a general security guard training course, for middle-aged and older adults who are having difficulties in job searching due to COVID-19 and other reasons.

The general security guard training is targeted at Dongdaemun-gu residents aged 40 to 65 who wish to be employed as security guards, and will recruit 30 people on a first-come, first-served basis.

Thirty percent of the recruits will be given priority selection from vulnerable groups.

This training course will be held for five days from September 13 to 17, and participants will receive a total of 34 hours of education, including mandatory legal training required for security guard employment such as the Security Services Act and Crime Prevention Theory, elevator safety manager training, and a career design job seeker course. The tuition fee is completely free.

Additionally, practical employment referral services such as one-on-one counseling through the Job Center will be provided to help connect the training completion to employment.

Residents who wish to participate can apply by visiting the Job Center on the first floor of Dongdaemun-gu Office from August 23 to September 1. For more details, please refer to the Dongdaemun-gu Office website or contact the Job Policy Division by phone.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “We have launched the general security guard training course for middle-aged and older job seekers who are struggling with job searching due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to develop employment competency enhancement programs to help middle-aged and older job seekers succeed in reemployment and do our best to connect them to jobs.”

Meanwhile, Dongdaemun-gu operated the general security guard training course last June, and all 30 recruited participants completed the training course.
