Dongjak-gu, Seoul (Mayor Park Il-ha) is promoting the ‘2024 Second Half Dongjak Youth Administrative Intern’ program this second half of the year to help unemployed youth strengthen their employment competitiveness.

The Dongjak Youth Administrative Intern program was introduced for the first time this year to allow young people to gain job experience in public institutions, separate from part-time jobs for university students. The number of hires is the highest among Seoul’s autonomous districts, selecting 14 interns in the second half following 9 in the first half.

The program expands participation beyond university students to include high school graduates, students on leave, and job seekers, providing various opportunities for administrative practical experience and close support for employment.

As of the announcement date on the 8th of this month, any youth aged 39 or younger registered as a resident in Dongjak-gu can apply. Applicants can download the application form from the recruitment announcement board on the district’s website, fill it out, and submit it in person or by mail to the Economic Policy Division of Dongjak-gu Office, or via email to the person in charge by the 19th of this month.

Applicants will be selected through a first-round document screening and a second-round interview, considering their major and desired job duties. The internship period is five months from the 1st of next month to December 31, working 5 hours a day (25 hours per week). The salary is paid at the Dongjak-gu living wage level, approximately KRW 57,180 per day.

Youth interns will perform tasks that help them acquire practical experience and develop their capabilities, not just simple administrative assistance, at 10 workplaces within the district such as the district office, public health center, and community service centers (in fields like IT, culture, welfare, and health).

After the internship ends, the district supports employment success through follow-up management such as employment competency enhancement programs and consulting. Meetings are also organized for administrative interns to share information necessary for employment.

Additionally, close counseling using the Youth Job Center supports personalized career planning, and priority opportunities are provided for participating in education required for desired job duties.

Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, said, “I hope this youth administrative intern program will be a great opportunity for local youth to gain diverse administrative practical experience,” and added, “We will continue to promote various policies to enhance youth employment capabilities.”
