This training program is designed in response to the increasing elderly population and the growing number of elderly welfare facilities, as well as the strong interest from women wishing to work in this field. Over a 45-day period (a total of 180 hours), it will cover practical elderly welfare work, cognitive activity instructor certification courses, job competency training, employment preparation education, field trips, and on-site training.

The New Start Center expects a steady increase in caregivers at elderly welfare facilities as the local community approaches a super-aged society.

The center plans to actively support the training of specialized personnel required by these facilities to help participants succeed in employment. Trainees will receive employment support services including vocational training, job counseling, employment linkage, and follow-up management.

Center Director Ji Yang-geun said, “Vocational training will serve as a stepping stone to employment for career-interrupted women,” adding, “The New Start Center will fulfill its functions and roles.”
