Talented and specialized personnel were assigned to departments responsible for core provincial policies such as administrative system reform, fostering the private space industry, creating 15-minute cities, and responding to future agriculture, ensuring the foundation for innovation.

In particular, Choi Myung-dong, Director of the Economic Vitality Bureau, was appointed as the Director of the Planning and Coordination Office, which is responsible for planning and coordinating major provincial policies; Kim In-young, a deputy director proficient in fiscal policy, was appointed as the Director of the Economic Vitality Bureau; and Yang Je-yoon, Director of the Climate and Environment Bureau, was appointed as the Director of the Innovation Industry Bureau to bring new momentum to future new industries such as the space industry and aviation.

Additionally, young directors born in the 1970s, including Kim Yang-bo, Director of the Culture and Sports Bureau, and Kang Min-chul, Head of the Administrative System Reform Promotion Team, were strategically placed to dynamically lead the provincial government.

To foster a hardworking organizational atmosphere, employees who produced results were promoted, and notably, through the excellent performance public official recommendation system introduced in the 8th local government, four individuals (two at grade 4 and two at grade 5) were promoted.

A key feature of this personnel reshuffle is the strategic placement of capable female public officials.

Kim Mi-young, Kang Ae-sook, and Kim In-young, who returned from long-term training at grade 3, were assigned to departments handling current issues, and Song Eun-mi, General Affairs Manager, was appointed as acting head of the Gangjeong Community Project Promotion Team.

To cultivate talented personnel and promote provincial policies through close cooperation, personnel exchanges and dispatches between the province, administrative cities, and central government ministries have been expanded.

Eight personnel were newly dispatched to six institutions including central government ministries such as the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, as well as related organizations. Employees returning from dispatch were assigned to related departments to utilize their experience and networks in their work.

Jeju Province has activated personnel exchanges to strengthen communication and cooperation between the province and administrative cities, and plans to further enhance employees' capabilities based on diverse work experiences through smooth exchanges in the future.

Governor Oh Young-hoon said about this personnel reshuffle, "As we enter the mid-term of the 8th local government, all employees will actively respond to provincial issues and policy tasks, focusing on creating an organizational environment where they can work enthusiastically through change and innovation, and realizing a competitive provincial government that dynamically leads the future of Jeju."
