Gyeonggi Province has continuously run prevention programs to help women maintain their careers and create workplaces where women can thrive, providing tailored services such as counseling, career planning, and workplace adaptation support for women with career experience and currently employed women. For companies, the province has offered HR, labor, and management consulting as well as support for improving workplace culture.

During Prevention Week, the province will focus on hosting career interruption prevention events for residents and businesses, and will continue to run a variety of programs to raise awareness through 14 Saeil Centers across the region even after the week concludes.

Kwon Jeonghyun, Director of Gender Equality in Employment at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Preventing career interruptions is not an individual problem, but an important task that must be addressed by both communities and companies together. Through this Career Interruption Prevention Week, we hope more residents will learn about these programs, and we will work to ensure that Gyeonggi Province's diverse initiatives create workplaces where women can thrive."
