[Asia Economy Reporter Kwak Minjae] The Small Enterprise and Market Service (SEMAS) announced on the 1st that it is recruiting trainees for the '2022 Logistics Sector Re-employment Program for Small Business Owners' in collaboration with GS Networks until the 15th.

The 'GS Networks Small Business Owner Employment Specialized Training' is designed to enhance the employment capabilities of small business owners who have closed or are planning to close their businesses and wish to find employment in the logistics sector.

Eligible applicants are small business owners aged 69 or younger who have closed or are planning to close their businesses, as well as their spouses. A total of 50 trainees will be selected through this announcement.

Trainees will receive training on small forklifts (under 3 tons) and logistics theory for approximately 16 hours over 3 days. Graduates will be given a training allowance of 250,000 KRW.
