Gyeonggi Province is promoting the 'Gyeonggi Province Connection Job Project' to create stable jobs for baby boomers.

The Gyeonggi Job Foundation announced on the 10th that it will promote the 'Gyeonggi Province Connection Job Project,' which connects baby boomer workers to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and social enterprises facing recruitment difficulties, supporting internships and regular employment, and is recruiting participating companies until the 20th of this month.

This year's project participants are SMEs and social enterprises in the province with 5 to fewer than 300 employees.

The final selected companies will be matched with baby boomer job seekers (aged 40 to under 65) in the province starting from the 17th of next month and will receive wage support from the foundation for up to six months.

Companies wishing to participate can submit the participation application form and other required documents through the integrated support system, Jobaba Apply, by the 20th of this month.

The foundation will comprehensively evaluate company capabilities, willingness to participate in the project, potential for conversion to regular employment, and working environment, and announce the results on the foundation's website on the 30th of this month. Subsequently, recruitment of baby boomer workers for the selected companies will begin on the 1st of next month.

Lee Eun-sook, head of the Baby Boomer Opportunity Division of the province, explained, "This project was promoted to resolve the manpower shortage of SMEs and social enterprises and to provide stable jobs for the baby boomer generation."
