Cheongsong-gun Supports Employment and Livelihood Stability for Vulnerable Job Seekers

Implementation of Public Work and Community Programs in the First Half of the Year

Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk Province (Governor Yoon Kyung-hee) will launch the 2023 first half direct job project (public work and local community) from the 6th to provide jobs and livelihood stability for employment-vulnerable groups.

After receiving applications last month, the county selected 66 applicants out of 122 through screening based on selection criteria such as household income, property status, and number of participations.

This figure represents a 32% increase compared to the first half of last year (50 people), and personnel were assigned to 18 departments including environmental maintenance projects and waste resource recycling projects, reflecting the participants' preferred fields.

The first half project will be conducted from March 6 to June 30, with working hours flexibly managed according to age: those aged 65 and over will work 15 hours per week, and those under 65 will work up to 30 hours per week.
