The Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry announced on the 24th that it held a meeting with beneficiary companies selected for the Home Appliance Industry Shared Facility Improvement Support Project.

The meeting took place in the morning at the third-floor conference room of the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry. More than 10 participants attended, including executives and staff from seven home appliance companies in the Gwangju area that were selected as the first round of beneficiaries. The session included an introduction to the project, listening to difficulties faced by companies in the field, and discussions on practical support measures.

The 'Home Appliance Industry Shared Facility Improvement Support Project' is part of the 'Home Appliance Tomorrow Youth Specialized Support Project,' which is being promoted in cooperation with the Ministry of Employment and Labor and Gwangju Metropolitan City. Its purpose is to encourage young workers to remain employed and settle in the region by improving the employment environment of home appliance companies.

The support targets manufacturing companies related to the home appliance industry located in Gwangju Metropolitan City with fewer than 300 employees that have newly hired young workers this year. Each company can receive up to 10 million won for the renovation or repair of shared facilities for employees, such as restrooms, cafeterias, and lounges.

A representative of the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry stated, "For young people, the working environment is as important as the level of pay," and added, "We hope that these efforts to improve and enhance workplaces will help promising young talent settle in the region and serve as a virtuous cycle that drives the region's economic growth."
