Additionally, Cheongsong Senior Club (Director Hwang Jin-ho) was selected as an excellent performing institution in the public activity single-type category and will receive an incentive of 5 million KRW.

This evaluation comprehensively assessed the 2022 project performance of senior employment institutions across metropolitan and basic local governments nationwide. Among the 14 basic local governments selected as excellent institutions nationwide, Cheongsong-gun received the top award, and among 1,134 senior employment project institutions, Cheongsong Senior Club was selected as an excellent performing institution in the public activity single-type evaluation.

Cheongsong-gun is providing jobs to approximately 3,300 seniors this year with a total budget of 12.7 billion KRW. In particular, as the county government expands participation annually with its own funds, it has secured additional budget this year to increase senior participants by 241, contributing to the improvement of senior welfare through a vibrant and healthy old age.

County Governor Yoon Kyung-hee said, “Being selected as the best institution is the result of cooperating wholeheartedly with the executing institutions under difficult conditions and the sincere participation of the seniors. We will continue to do our best to develop and expand various senior employment projects to provide income bases for seniors, promote their physical and mental health, and improve their quality of life in old age.”
