Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) operates the 'Career and Job Experience Instructor Training Course' to support the employment of women with career experience, providing comprehensive support up to hiring.

The career and job experience instructor training, held from August 22 to 31, focuses on nurturing women with career experience to be employed as assistant instructors in schools, guiding adolescent students in exploring their future career paths.

With the recent activation of the free semester system, more schools are organizing classes for students' career exploration, increasing the demand for assistant instructors to conduct these classes. Especially, the advantage of being able to work as part-time assistant instructors while raising children has sparked strong interest among women with career experience. Over 40 applicants applied for 15 available spots, and women with strong employment intentions were prioritized through interview screening.

This training was conducted in collaboration between Seongdong-gu and the Seongdong Women's Human Resources Development Center, a specialized institution for women's employment and entrepreneurship education, covering ▲ youth career guidance and counseling techniques ▲ admission trends and self-directed learning guidance ▲ instructor field practice.

Seongdong-gu plans to support employment linkage so that all women with career experience who complete this training can work as instructors.

Seongdong-gu was the first in the nation to enact an ordinance for the promotion of rights for women with career experience and has issued career recognition certificates that acknowledge childcare and other caregiving labor as career experience, including employment and entrepreneurship education. Participants in the career recognition program receive 1:1 employment and entrepreneurship counseling such as reflecting on caregiving labor experience and resume writing. After completing the program, a caregiving labor career recognition certificate issued in the name of the mayor is provided, along with job placement support based on the interested job fields.

Notably, one outstanding graduate who completed this year's career recognition program and coding instructor training received a caregiving labor career recognition certificate and is about to start working as an assistant instructor at the Seongdong 4th Industrial Revolution Experience Center.

Additionally, two other women have secured employment, and there is also a case of successful entrepreneurship by entering the U.S. leading online shopping mall, Amazon.

Since 2021, over the past three years, about 90 women with career experience have participated in employment and entrepreneurship education, with 43 achieving employment or entrepreneurship. Also, 49 women have received career recognition certificates acknowledging caregiving labor as valuable career experience.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, stated, "Along with the ultra-low birthrate crisis, there is a growing social consensus that a society where work and life are balanced must be established, and the starting point is the economic participation of women with career experience." He added, "We plan to continue operating various educational programs so that women with career experience can be recognized for their capabilities and work freely."
