Facility Renovation and Equipment Purchase Costs

Gyeongju City is recruiting companies to participate in the ‘Excellent Youth Employment Support Project’ until the 31st.

This project supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with excellent youth employment records by providing funds for facility renovation and equipment purchase to improve working conditions, encouraging long-term employment of workers and alleviating the shortage of young labor.

Up to 8 million KRW per company will be provided, combining costs for facility renovations such as break rooms, bathing facilities, and restrooms, as well as expenses for work environment improvement items within welfare facilities like exercise equipment, washing machines, and refrigerators.

Applications are open to small and medium-sized enterprises and mid-sized companies with offices in the Gyeongju area that have shown an increase in employment compared to the end of December last year, and have excellent new youth employment performance this year in the manufacturing sector. Selection will be comprehensively evaluated based on sales, years of operation, number of employees, corporate welfare, and participation in government support policies.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the Gyeongju Chamber of Commerce and Industry or by mail.

Last year, 26 SMEs selected for the Excellent Youth Employment Support Project created 307 jobs for young and middle-aged workers.

Kim Hee-kyung, head of the Job and Youth Policy Division of Gyeongju City, said, “We expect this to greatly help spread a stable employment atmosphere and improve the quality of life for workers through the improvement of working conditions in local SMEs.”
