Dongjak-gu to Recruit First 'Youth Administrative Interns' This Year... Highest Number Among Seoul Autonomous Districts

Anyone Unemployed Youth Can Apply, 5-Month Activity Period... Recruiting 24 People This Year

Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak District, is explaining youth policies at the CTS Convention in Noryangjin, Dongjak District, last September.

Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Il-ha) announced that it will implement the 'Dongjak Youth Administrative Intern' program for unemployed youth for the first time this year.

The Dongjak Youth Administrative Intern program was designed to help young people build job experience and enhance their employment competitiveness, separate from part-time jobs for university students.

In particular, the program expands the target participants beyond university students to include high school graduates, students on leave, and job seekers, providing opportunities for diverse administrative work experience and plans to support follow-up management for employment.

The number of recruits is the largest among Seoul's autonomous districts, selecting a total of 24 people this year, 12 each in the first and second half of the year.

First, the recruitment target for the first half of the year is youth aged 39 or younger who are registered residents of Dongjak-gu as of the announcement date (February 5).

Youth who wish to participate can download the application form from the recruitment announcement board on the district website by the 16th, fill it out, and submit it in person to the Economic Policy Division of Dongjak-gu Office or via email to the person in charge.

Selected youth interns will work 5 hours a day for 5 months from March 4 to July 30, and will be paid a daily wage of 57,180 KRW, which is the Dongjak-gu living wage.

Before starting work, an 'Administrative Intern Launch Ceremony' will be held at the Noryangjin Youth Job Center, where they will complete safety and labor training before beginning full-scale internship activities.

The youth will be assigned to eight workplaces within the district, including the district office, health center, and Dongjak Employment Support Center, selected through a departmental demand survey conducted in January, working in fields such as IT, welfare, safety, and health, performing tasks that help with career exploration rather than simple administrative assistance.

Additionally, the district will continue close management to support employment success even after the youth interns complete their work.

Through gatherings that share necessary information for employment, they will create opportunities for mutual communication and further growth.

Moreover, personalized employment support program information will be provided, and priority participation opportunities in the Youth Job Center's employment support programs will be offered to assist job-seeking activities.

Along with this, recruitment for the second half youth administrative interns will take place in July, with operations starting in August.

For other inquiries related to the youth administrative intern program, contact the Economic Policy Division of Dongjak-gu Office by phone.

Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, said, "The youth administrative intern program, implemented for the first time this year, will expand the target and duration to provide opportunities to more young people," adding, "We will continue to promote various policies that can provide practical help to youth preparing for employment."
