Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that from December 4 to 15, it will recruit 3,567 participants for the ‘2024 Senior Job and Social Activity Support Project’ to help seniors lead active and healthy lives in their later years.

The recruitment fields are divided into four types: ‘Public Interest Activities’ for participation to promote community welfare, ‘Social Service Type’ providing services in areas requiring social assistance, ‘Market Type’ operated with business profits, and ‘Employment Referral Type’ connecting individuals with the skills required by demand organizations.

‘Public Interest Activities’ are open to basic pension recipients aged 65 and over, recruiting 2,479 people for 21 projects such as subway station environment cleaning and elementary school lunch distribution. ‘Social Service Type’ targets seniors aged 65 and over (60 and over for some projects), recruiting 604 people for 10 projects including community care, safety, and support for public facility administrative tasks.

‘Market Type’ is open to those aged 60 and over, recruiting 356 people for 10 projects such as convenience stores and cafes. ‘Employment Referral Type’ targets those aged 60 and over, recruiting 128 people to work in private companies. Applications for the Employment Referral Type will be accepted starting January 8 next year.

Seniors wishing to participate should bring their ID, resident registration certificate, a passport-sized photo, and a basic pension recipient confirmation (only for Public Interest Activities) and apply in person at the executing organizations. The executing organizations are Geumcheon Senior Club, Geumcheon Senior Welfare Center, Geumcheon Hoam Senior Welfare Center, Cheongdam Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, Geumcheon Nuri Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, and the Korea Senior Citizens Association Geumcheon Branch. Details of the projects and application locations (executing organizations) can be found on the Geumcheon-gu Office website under ‘Notices & Announcements’. However, those receiving livelihood benefits under the National Basic Livelihood Security Act, participants in two or more job projects promoted by government ministries or local governments, health insurance workplace subscribers (except for Employment Referral Type), and those assessed with long-term care grades (grades 1 to 5, cognitive support grade) are not eligible to apply.

Participants will be selected in order of highest scores according to the selection criteria such as income level, and the results will be individually notified.

From November 23 to 30, Geumcheon-gu held a project evaluation meeting over eight sessions, inviting 3,284 seniors who participated in this year’s ‘Senior Job and Social Activity Support Project’ to review and encourage their achievements throughout the year.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “Despite difficult circumstances, we secured 8.6% more jobs than last year to ensure stable income and social activities for seniors,” adding, “We will continue to make efforts so that seniors can enjoy a healthy and vibrant later life.”
