Gwangju Seo-gu, Recruiting Companies for Youth Job Projects in the Digital New Deal Sector

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kim I-gang) announced on the 13th that it will promote the project "Dreaming of a Better Tomorrow (Job) with the Digital New Deal" as part of the 2023 local-led youth job creation project.

This project was prepared to support labor costs for companies located in Seo-gu that newly hire youth aged 19 to 39 as regular employees in the digital new deal sector (IT jobs).

Companies wishing to participate in the project can refer to the announcement posted on the Seo-gu Office website and submit the application form by visiting the Seo-gu Office Youth Job Support Division or by mail or email by the 21st.

Seo-gu will select qualified companies in the first round in January next year through screening, publicly recruit young job seekers together with the selected companies, and support project expenses for five workplaces that complete regular employment.

For the finally selected companies, 80% of the labor costs for newly hired youth (up to 1.6 million KRW per month) will be supported for up to two years starting from March next year, and various benefits such as employment retention incentives, self-development support funds, job training, and labor consultation will be provided to the youth.

Meanwhile, Seo-gu has been promoting youth job projects targeting IT companies located in Seo-gu since last year to promote employment of local youth through financial support for companies amid prolonged economic recession. Last year, it supported regular employment of youth in 19 companies, and this year in 21 companies.
