However, recipients of unemployment benefits and those whose household combined income exceeds 80% of the median income are not eligible to participate.

Geumcheon-gu will review applicants’ property status, number of dependents, number of times participated in public jobs, and exclusion criteria, and announce the results on January 5, 2024, in the "Geumcheon News" section of the Geumcheon-gu Office website. Final successful candidates will be notified individually by the project department.

The final successful candidates will work at each project site from January 10 to June 30, 2024.

Additionally, participants will be mandatorily enrolled in the four major social insurances and will receive safety and labor education, sexual harassment prevention education, workplace bullying prevention education, and health checkups for safety and health management.
