Gwangju Nam-gu Recruiting Midlife Applicants Dreaming of Becoming 'Car Inspection Experts'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is recruiting participants for the "Automobile Inspection Workforce Training Project" to help the new middle-aged generation design their second act in life through economic activity participation.

According to Nam-gu on the 19th, the Automobile Inspection Workforce Training Project was established to support the successful later-life planning of the new middle-aged generation with rich economic and social activity experience and to provide opportunities to re-engage in society as skilled human resources.

Nam-gu has been promoting this project since 2019 in collaboration with the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Songwon University, guiding participants toward certification acquisition and employment success through practical training related to automobile inspection.

The number of recruits this time is 15.

Unemployed middle-aged and older adults residing in Gwangju and small business owners with annual sales of 150 million KRW or less are eligible to participate.

Preference will be given to new middle-aged generation candidates eligible to take the automobile maintenance industrial engineer exam and those with more than two years of experience in automobile-related industries.

Applications must be submitted by the 15th of next month, either by visiting the 4th floor Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation at Songwon University Headquarters or by emailing the person in charge.

Selected trainees will receive full support for tuition fees, and upon completion, they will be provided with a certificate of completion and a job recommendation letter for employment at automobile maintenance and inspection companies.

The automobile inspection workforce training will be conducted at educational facilities such as the Automobile Engineering Building at Songwon University until October.

For further inquiries, please refer to the announcements on Songwon University’s website or contact by phone.

A Nam-gu official stated, “We will train the new middle-aged generation as automobile inspection experts to resolve the workforce mismatch issue in the automobile inspection industry and actively address unemployment issues among the new middle-aged generation by providing quality jobs.”
