Gyeonggi Province is promoting a project to provide internship opportunities for baby boomer job seekers.
The Gyeonggi Job Foundation announced on the 30th that it is recruiting participants for the ‘Gyeonggi Province Connection Job Project,’ which provides stable jobs for the baby boomer generation, until May 31.
The Gyeonggi Province Connection Job Project supports internships by connecting baby boomer job seekers aged 40 to under 65 within the province with small, medium, and social enterprises. The project provides companies with a monthly wage subsidy of 1.2 million KRW for three months, up to a maximum of 3.6 million KRW.
Gyeonggi Province comprehensively evaluated companies based on their capabilities, willingness to participate in the project, potential for regular employment conversion, and working environment, and announced the final selected companies on the Gyeonggi Job Foundation website on the 26th. From the 29th, the province will support up to 700 baby boomer workers through recruitment and matching for the selected companies.
Those wishing to participate can apply by May 31 through the integrated application system Jobaba Apply (apply.jobaba.net).
Nam Kyung-ah, head of the Baby Boomer Opportunity Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "More than 200 baby boomers successfully found stable jobs through regular employment conversion last year via this project," adding, "We will continue to improve the program in various ways to provide more work opportunities for baby boomers and help them lead a stable second chapter of their lives."
