Gwangju Labor Office and Self-Reliance Support Agency Sign Youth Employment Support Agreement

The Gwangju Regional Employment and Labor Office Gwangju Employment Welfare+ Center announced on the 14th that it has signed a business agreement with the Gwangju Self-Reliance Support Agency to strengthen the linkage of employment support for youth preparing for independence.

Youth preparing for independence refers to young people who have been under the care of child welfare facilities or foster care and have reached the age of 18, after which their protection ends and they begin to stand on their own.

Through this agreement, employment success will be supported by linking the 'Integrated Self-Reliance Support Service' and the 'National Employment Support System (employment support services and livelihood support)' for youth who wish to find employment.

The Gwangju Self-Reliance Support Agency will actively guide youth preparing for independence on the National Employment Support System. The Gwangju Employment Welfare+ Center will assign specialized counselors for each participant to provide customized employment consulting such as job placement, employment document clinics, group counseling programs, and will cooperate to support career planning and successful employment.

Participants in the National Employment Support System can prepare for employment while receiving employment support services such as employment counseling, vocational training, work experience programs, and livelihood support including job-seeking promotion allowances (up to 3 million KRW) and family allowances (up to 400,000 KRW per month).

Additionally, youth preparing for independence participating in the National Employment Support System can also participate in work experience programs in various jobs to improve workplace adaptation skills and job performance.

Kim Seon-jae, director of the Gwangju Employment Welfare+ Center, said, "We hope that this business agreement will greatly help young people preparing for independence in our region to participate in the National Employment Support System, succeed in employment, and establish a stable foundation for independence."
