[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Namdong-gu, Incheon, is promoting the 'Pharmacy Clerk Training Program' again this year to support the employment of women with career interruptions, following last year.

The district announced on the 17th that it recently shared last year's achievements and discussed this year's plans with the project partners, Incheon Women's Human Resources Development Center and Namdong-gu Pharmacists Association.

The Pharmacy Clerk Training Program was launched last year as a specialized project of Incheon City's Women-Friendly City initiative, tailored to the unique regional characteristics of Namdong-gu, where large apartment complexes and general hospitals are concentrated. All 15 participants completed the training, and 12 succeeded in finding employment.

Based on these results, the district decided to promote the program as its own project starting this year to stably support the economic participation of women with career interruptions.

Accordingly, the Incheon Women's Human Resources Development Center will recruit about 15 participants, targeting women with career interruptions and middle-aged women, from May to June.

Starting in July, the center plans to conduct a systematic Pharmacy Clerk Training Program, including vocational education on pharmacy computer programs, on-site pharmacy internships, and the formation of study clubs.

Lee Kang-ho, Mayor of Namdong-gu, said, "The success of last year's Pharmacy Clerk Training Program was thanks to a strong public-private cooperation system," adding, "We will continue to actively promote policies that provide quality jobs and expand social participation for women with career interruptions."
