Boryeong City in South Chungcheong Province is drawing attention as its "Senior Capacity Utilization Leading Model Project," which is being promoted in cooperation with the Daejeon-Chungnam Regional Headquarters of the Korea Senior Human Resources Development Institute, is achieving both the creation of quality jobs for seniors and an increase in revenue.

In particular, it is being recognized for its pioneering administration, as it is the first local government in South Chungcheong Province to adopt a direct management approach.

Since January, the city has stably managed employment by creating 206 jobs across 49 projects through the "Senior Capacity Utilization Leading Model Project," which involves participation from all departments.

As a result of these achievements, the city secured 330 million won in national funding in September and plans to secure up to an additional 425 million won in national funding by the end of the year by fulfilling the project targets.

According to the city on September 11, the Senior Capacity Utilization Leading Model is a system that provides customized jobs by newly hiring people aged 60 or older in the social services and ESG sectors.

If certain requirements are met, such as working for more than five months, receiving an average monthly salary of at least 762,000 won, and enrolling in the four major insurances, each individual can receive up to 1.7 million won per year in national funding support.

Last year, the city finalized the project target at 250 people through a demand survey of all departments and signed an agreement with the Daejeon-Chungnam Regional Headquarters of the Korea Senior Human Resources Development Institute.

Notably, Boryeong City is the first in South Chungcheong Province to introduce the "direct management" method by the local government, rather than outsourcing to an implementing agency. In a bold administrative decision, the city even revised relevant regulations to demonstrate its commitment to the project.

Mayor Kim Dongil stated, "This project is establishing itself as the Boryeong-style senior job model," and added, "We will continue to utilize various platforms to secure national funding and create sustainable, quality jobs."
