Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it will operate the ‘Middle-aged Reemployment Capability Enhancement Course’ to help those aged 40-64 open a successful second chapter in life.

The middle-aged group (40-64 years old) accounts for 36.7% of Yeongdeungpo-gu’s population. Recently, with retirement ages getting earlier and the concept of lifelong employment disappearing, the number of middle-aged retirees and those preparing for retirement has significantly increased.

Accordingly, the district is conducting a capability enhancement course to support successful reemployment for middle-aged individuals in transition.

The education content includes ▲Successful new middle-aged reemployment strategies ▲Post-retirement change management ▲Core competency resume writing ▲Reemployment and entrepreneurship case talk concerts ▲Mock interviews ▲Individual employment counseling and follow-up management.

The education period is divided into ▲Session 1 (August 10 ? September 7) ▲Session 2 (September 14 ? October 19) ▲Session 3 (October 26 ? November 23), with 25 participants per session. The course is held at the YDP Future Lifelong Learning Center, and tuition is free.

Middle-aged job seekers aged 40-64 residing in the district can apply for the course by August 3 through the Yeongdeungpo-gu Office website’s “Our District News” section by filling out a Google Form or via phone.

In addition, the district operates training courses for national technical certifications popular in the job market, such as Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanic and Electrician certifications. Each course recruits 20 residents wishing to gain employment. Practical, field-oriented training is provided to help job seekers obtain technical certifications, and after completing the training, successful employment is supported by linking to related job positions.

Furthermore, for youth aged 18-39 residing in Seoul, Yeongdeungpo Youth Architecture School is recruiting students. The school provides education on basic indoor interior theory as well as all processes necessary for home repair, including tile installation and comprehensive facilities, supporting the acquisition of related certifications. After completing the training, students participate in local vulnerable household repair support projects with experts, gaining hands-on field experience while contributing to the community.
