Jeongeup-si 'Youth Employment Connection Program' Operation

[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk has established and officially started operating a program this year that connects youth, who are the future growth engine of the region, with local companies for employment to encourage young people to settle in the area.

According to the city on the 29th, the employment connection program links job-seeking youth and companies in need of employees through pre-entered data.

Job seekers input personal information and fields of interest, while companies continuously enter company information and job openings, allowing both parties to easily access and connect employment information by frequently checking recruitment details.

In particular, job-seeking youth can set up recruitment alert functions, enabling them to receive hiring information without directly accessing the program.

To activate the program, the city signed business agreements with two specialized high schools in the region, aiming for youth to settle locally through employment using the program and minimizing outflow to other areas.

Additionally, the city is actively encouraging graduates of the ‘Youth Challenge Support Project,’ selected as a Ministry of Employment and Labor public contest project this year, to participate in the employment connection program.

For active participation of local companies, the city is making every effort to establish the program by sending official notices about the project, alert messages, and visiting companies directly.

The ‘Youth & Company’ employment connection program can be accessed through the Jeongeup City Youth Support Center Cheongjeongjidae website.

Mayor Yoo Jin-seop said, “We will spare no support for youth facing unprecedented employment difficulties due to COVID-19,” and added, “We hope this will help alleviate the recruitment difficulties of local companies and the employment challenges of young people, even if only a little.”
