Gochang-gun Local Job Center in Jeonbuk announced on the 10th that it has been finally selected for the 2023 "Regional Plus Job Project" hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
Accordingly, Gochang-gun Local Job Center secured a total project budget of 800 million KRW this year, including 500 million KRW in national funds, 100 million KRW in provincial funds, and 200 million KRW in county funds.
The core agricultural job support project involves recruiting the non-economically active population from nearby urban areas such as Jeongeup and Gwangju and deploying them as farm labor.
The center achieved 4,711 farm linkages last year.
This year, it plans to find 100 farm employers and 500 farm job seekers to support farm recruitment during the busy farming season, targeting 10,000 cases annually.
For farm and job seeker registration and consultation, contact the Gochang-gun Local Job Center.
Gochang-gun Local Job Center opened in April 2019 and annually discovers and mediates about 700 new jobs.
This year as well, it plans to seek 300 local employers and 400 job seekers to create new jobs.
In addition, it is actively leading job creation in the county through various projects such as youth and middle-aged entrepreneurship support, corporate environment improvement, and human resources and labor consulting support.
Lee Young-yoon, the county's New Vitality Economic Policy Officer, said, "We will strive to provide more jobs to the residents through the Gochang-gun Local Job Center to make Gochang a vibrant place."
