The recruitment period is until the 17th, and the eligibility requirement is being 18 years or older with a registered residence in Jeongeup.

However, those who have repeatedly participated in financially supported job projects for more than two years within the past three years may be restricted from participating.

Since eligibility and duration vary by job field, detailed information can be found in the announcement posted on the city hall website.

The city plans to prioritize vulnerable groups such as employment protection targets when selecting participants.

Working hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a five-day workweek as a principle, and operations will be flexibly managed depending on the characteristics of each task and period.

A city official stated, "Through this project, we expect not only to provide jobs to vulnerable employment groups but also to enable rapid response in case of forest disasters such as wildfires and pine wilt disease."
