This year, the Small and Medium Business Corporation plans to focus on strengthening support by ▲ matching SME personnel through internal and external policy linkage and cooperation with related organizations ▲ private sector-led job support such as large and medium-sized enterprises ▲ digital recruitment support and employment support services to expand youth inflow into SMEs.

Specifically, based on collaboration with related organizations such as the Military Manpower Administration, Ministry of Justice Correction Headquarters, and Korea Student Aid Foundation, the methods of supporting SME personnel will be diversified to include young soldiers, model prisoners, and young scholarship students. In particular, to match foreign workers such as international students, a ‘Foreigners-only Recruitment Section’ will be pilot introduced and operated within the Corporate Workforce Difficulty Center’s employment matching platform.

Large and medium-sized enterprises and cooperating SMEs will form project groups to support youth job seekers’ employment, and the industries of large and medium-sized enterprises will be expanded from national infrastructure industries such as construction and steel to aviation, logistics, and the automobile industry. In addition, ‘Consortium Project Groups’ cooperating with regional base universities will be discovered to strengthen youth job seeker education and employment linkage.

Jo Han-gyo, Director of Human Resources Growth at the Small and Medium Business Corporation, said, “One of the biggest difficulties in SME sites is the personnel issue,” and added, “We will expand various supports using the Small and Medium Business Corporation’s Corporate Workforce Difficulty Center, focusing on SMEs experiencing recruitment difficulties.”
