Cheongyang County Aims to Create Jobs for Target of 2 Million Daily Population

Job Target Disclosure... Employment Rate at 76.6%, 20,600 Employed

Cheongyang County in South Chungcheong Province has unveiled its vision to achieve a living population of 2 million by creating jobs linked to premium tourism hubs.

On the 3rd, the county announced its detailed annual plan for the 2025 job creation measures under the Local Job Target Disclosure System, setting goals of a 76.6% employment rate for the economically active population (ages 15-64) and 20,600 employed persons.

To realize these goals, the county has selected the revitalization of major tourism hubs, festivals, and sports marketing as its main strategies, and has established five core strategies, thirteen key tasks, and thirty-three detailed action plans.

The five core strategies are: ▲Job creation through local economic revitalization ▲Job creation based on specialized agriculture and future industries ▲Job creation through the expansion of rural welfare infrastructure ▲Job creation through the development of local special tourism hubs ▲Customized job creation and capacity building for each target group.

To concretize these strategies, the county is expanding major tourism hub infrastructure such as Chilgaphos, Cheonjangho District, the Children's Theme Forest Park, and the South Chungcheong Provincial Park Golf Course Vitality Town.

Additionally, the county plans to actively attract national and provincial-level residential sports competitions to boost sports marketing, and to operate residential tourism programs such as Tourism Dure, Tour Pass, and One-Month Stay, thereby creating a sustainable tourism ecosystem.

In particular, along with the Chungnam 119 Complex Town, which opened last September, three newly attracted provincial public institutions?the Chungnam Social Economy Innovation Town, Chungnam Climate and Environmental Education Center, Chungnam Student Health Promotion Integrated Education Experience Center, and Chungnam Forest Resources Research Institute?are scheduled to open or be completed this year. Through these, about 1,000 jobs are expected to be created, with more than 500,000 annual visitors anticipated.

Furthermore, by launching the nation’s first rural-customized job platform, the 'Cheongyang County Job Information Network,' the county will establish an integrated online and offline job information system, resolve mismatches between job seekers and employers, and accelerate local employment growth.

County Governor Kim Dongon stated, "We will promote new growth engine projects utilizing local resources in tourism, culture, agriculture, and welfare to vitalize the local economy, and through this, establish a virtuous cycle system for job creation and regional development."

Meanwhile, the Local Job Target Disclosure System is a regional employment promotion system in which each region annually sets, discloses, and evaluates its job creation goals and measures.
