Supporting Retired Employees' Second Act in Life

Dongdaemun-gu to Operate 1:1 Life Planning and Employment Referral Services for Employees Retiring on 11th-12th

Dongdaemun-gu (District Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) will conduct a 'Reemployment Support Service' training for about 30 public officials and fixed-term workers affiliated with the district who are scheduled to retire, over two days on the 11th and 12th at the multipurpose auditorium on the 2nd floor of the district office.

The Reemployment Support Service is a program provided under the 'Act on Prohibition of Age Discrimination in Employment and Promotion of Employment of Older Persons,' requiring employers with more than 1,000 employees to offer necessary education and support for reemployment to workers aged 50 or older who are expected to leave their jobs due to involuntary reasons such as mandatory retirement or contract expiration.

The district offers the second type of the three types of Reemployment Support Services?▲Career Planning ▲Job Placement ▲Employment and Entrepreneurship Education?specifically providing 'Job Placement.' Service recipients register as job seekers at the district job center and receive one-on-one counseling with a career counselor.

Based on the individual job skills and desired occupations identified through counseling, the district will provide customized job placement services and will also conduct regular follow-ups to check employment retention and satisfaction after placement.

Additionally, one-on-one professional counseling on life planning topics such as work, finance, social contribution, and family relationships will be offered to those who wish to participate.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “I hope this opportunity will help those scheduled to retire alleviate their anxiety about reemployment and find answers for a second chapter in their lives.”
