Expansion of Public Sector Jobs and Participant Age Range
Increasing Employment for Youth and Low-Income Seniors: 301 Positions

Yangsan City, Gyeongnam Province, is recruiting participants for the '2025 First Half Public Work Project' to support the livelihood stability of employment-vulnerable groups and contribute to the development of the local community.


This project aims to recover the local economy amid the recession affecting low-income households, with plans to recruit a total of 301 participants, an increase of 71 from the previous year.


The recruitment fields consist of four categories: youth, general labor, job counselors, and senior citizens. Specifically, 62 youths, 179 general laborers, 10 job counselors, and 50 seniors will be selected, totaling 301 participants. The work areas include environmental maintenance, national land park projects, and public service support.


Notably, this public work project expands public sector jobs by focusing on placing youth and increasing the hiring age from 65 to 69, thereby significantly increasing job opportunities for low-income seniors through additional recruitment.


Applicants must be citizens registered in Yangsan City as of the project start date, February 24, 2025, aged between 18 and 69, and capable of working. Applications can be submitted in person at the administrative welfare center of their registered address by January 17. Selected individuals will work for approximately four months from February 24 to June 13. Detailed information can be found in the announcement on the Yangsan City Hall website.



A Yangsan City official stated, “Through this public work project, we aim to create jobs within the region and ensure the livelihood safety of employment-vulnerable groups,” adding, “We hope many local residents will actively participate.”
