Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation's 'Gyeonggi-do Eum Job Project' Briefing Session

The Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation has reportedly employed 203 baby boomer job seekers in the province through the 'Gyeonggi-do Ieum Job Project.'

The Gyeonggi-do Ieum Job Project is a program that, since 2020, provides stable employment by having baby boomer job seekers aged 40 to under 65 work at small and medium-sized enterprises in the province for three months (Ieum work) and then transition to regular full-time positions.

Regarding the age distribution of those converted to regular positions in this project, people in their 40s accounted for the largest number with 113, making up 56% of the total. This was followed by 64 people in their 50s (31%) and 26 people in their 60s (13%).

With this, the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation achieved this year's project goals: ▲ connecting 300 baby boomer workers to jobs (exceeding the annual target of 250) ▲ 223 completing Ieum work (as of September) ▲ a completion rate of 83.5% (an increase of 2.2 percentage points compared to the previous year) ▲ 203 regular position conversions ▲ a conversion rate of 91% (an increase of 9.2 percentage points compared to the previous year).

Son Il-gwon, Head of the Western Business Headquarters at the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation, stated, "From the project's inception year until last year, 640 baby boomers have successfully found stable jobs through conversion to regular positions," adding, "We will continue to improve the program in various ways to provide more work opportunities for baby boomers and help them confidently embark on their second act in life."
