Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) created 6,197 public jobs last year, achieving 103% of its target.
The district set "expanding public job creation" as a pledge for the 8th local government administration. The goal is to create 6,000 jobs annually from 2022 to 2026, ultimately discovering 30,000 public sector jobs.
To this end, 26 departments joined forces last year. A total of 144 projects were implemented, including "Gwangjin-type Happy Jobs" and "Seoul Donghaeng Jobs (Public Work)." Public jobs were stably provided in various sectors such as culture and sports, parks and green spaces, healthcare, safety management, and care services.
Support for vulnerable employment groups was also emphasized. Jobs were created for 2,624 seniors and 157 people with disabilities, achieving results in vulnerable groups. Additionally, to assist young people struggling due to the slowdown in the job market, "Gwangjin Youth Jobs" and "New Deal Jobs" were operated. As a result, a total of 6,197 people succeeded in finding employment.
District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, "We are striving to create quality jobs to alleviate employment anxiety amid the ongoing economic crisis," and added, "We will promote successful job policies so that residents can lead stable lives."
This year, the district will continue to pursue various projects aimed at job creation. Efforts will be made to support job-seeking activities through both the public sector and private sector connections. Along with the "Job Fair," "Visiting Job Center," and "Employment Competency Enhancement Training," which received great responses last year, practical measures will be devised.
