Seo-gu District in Gwangju Metropolitan City is officially launching the "2026 First Half Financially Supported Job Project."

On February 2, Seo-gu held a safety training session for about 80 participants in the financially supported job project at the Civil Defense Education Center in the Seo-gu Office. This training, required under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, was organized prior to the start of the project to raise workers' safety awareness and prevent industrial accidents.

The financially supported job project aims to provide stable employment opportunities to vulnerable groups, such as low-income individuals and marriage migrant women, supporting their livelihood stability and independence.

In the first half of this year, 84 people will participate in 40 projects, including public work and local community job projects. They will perform a variety of tasks, such as road safety monitoring, organizing and digitizing records, and managing abandoned personal mobility devices (PMs).

The training was conducted by a professional instructor from the Korea Emergency First Aid Education Center, focusing on real-life cases and hands-on experiences. Participants received practical instruction on key topics, including ▲ basic information on the Occupational Safety and Health Act ▲ cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid ▲ accident and occupational disease prevention, all immediately applicable in the field.

One senior citizen who attended the training shared, "I used to worry about getting injured at work, but receiving training tailored to real situations was very helpful. I feel reassured knowing I can work safely."

Yoon Geunseok, Head of the Job and Youth Support Division, stated, "This training was organized to enhance workers' ability to respond in emergency situations. We will continue to do our best to discover quality jobs so that participants in the financially supported job project can work in a safe environment and receive practical support for their livelihood stability."
