Any SME or small business owner with a workplace in Hamyang County who employs at least two people and is enrolled in employment insurance is eligible to apply. If selected, businesses will receive an employment incentive of 7 million KRW per newly hired employee in 2024 (700,000 KRW per month for 10 months).

The county recruited 25 people in March and plans to recruit 10 more in June. Businesses wishing to participate in the employment incentive support project should submit an application to the Hamyang County Job and Economy Division by June 21.
