Sacheon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 23rd that it received the 'Excellence Award' for outstanding cases at the '2024 Gyeongsangnam-do Job Competition' held at the Changwon Convention Center.

This competition was organized by Gyeongsangnam-do to commemorate receiving the grand prize at the '2024 National Local Government Job Awards' and to spread and share outstanding job creation cases.

Sacheon City won the Excellence Award for Best Practices at the 2024 Gyeongsangnam-do Job Competition.

Out of 18 cases submitted for the first written review, 6 were selected as outstanding cases, and the final best case was chosen through presentations and a second review on the day of the event.

Sacheon City submitted its Youth Challenge Support Project as an outstanding case, passed the first written review, and was selected as an outstanding case through the presentation.

The Youth Challenge Support Project is a public project by the Ministry of Employment and Labor. In 2023, Sacheon City was the only city in Gyeongnam to implement it, but this year it is also being carried out in Changwon, Yangsan, and Tongyeong.

The Sacheon City Youth Challenge Support Project is being conducted by the Korea Labor Education Promotion Agency, aiming to motivate and restore the confidence of young people who have given up on job seeking.

It helps reintegrate youth excluded from employment education back into the workforce, supports their independence, and connects them with various employment support services.

Through customized programs to motivate participation in social activities, participants receive a 500,000 KRW stipend upon completing the "Challenge" program, and up to 2.5 million KRW (500,000 KRW per month for up to 5 months) for completing the "Challenge+" program.

A city official said, "This competition was a valuable opportunity to share outstanding examples from other cities and counties," and added, "We will continue to work hard to create more jobs in the future."
