Jeongeup-si to Operate 'Youth Employment Exam Preparation Class' Starting Next Year

[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk is stepping up efforts to help young people struggling with employment.

The city announced on the 22nd that it plans to operate a 'Youth Employment Exam Preparation Class' starting next year to create conditions for settling in the region.

The 'Youth Employment Exam Preparation Class' is a measure against the issue of young people moving to metropolitan areas such as the Seoul metropolitan area to prepare for civil service or public enterprise exams, incurring huge expenses, which causes both local capital outflow and population loss.

From next year until 2025, the city plans to support exam preparation for a total of 120 youths annually, including 80 civil service exam candidates and 40 public enterprise NCS exam candidates.

Through management by a professional education company, three courses will be operated: a direct lecture course for civil service, a civil service video course, and a direct lecture course for public enterprise NCS.

The company responsible for education will be selected fairly and professionally through an open competitive bidding and proposal evaluation in January next year.

Mayor Lee Hak-su said, "Through this project, we will provide high-quality and efficient learning opportunities to civil service and public enterprise exam candidates, increasing employment rates and at the same time preventing population outflow to other regions, making it a great opportunity."
