This contest, hosted by the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation, was established to discover and spread best practices of city and county job centers within the province, aiming to improve the quality of job center services and enhance the level of employment services.
In particular, 19 groups participated in the newly established group category this year, and the Namyangju Job Center received high praise for its operation case of the ‘New Middle-aged Mentor Citizen Instructor Training Course,’ earning the honor of the Excellence Award.
The ‘New Middle-aged Mentor Citizen Instructor Training Course’ is a program that trains citizen instructors to form a new middle-aged mentor group, who then directly operate specialized reemployment education.
Through this, not only were educational opportunities expanded, but the establishment of a collaborative system with eight related job institutions in the area also earned significant recognition.
A Namyangju City official stated, “This award is the result of efforts recognized for providing practical reemployment support through the training of citizen instructors and strengthening cooperation with related institutions,” adding, “We will continue to expand customized programs reflecting the diverse needs of the local community to help citizens find stable jobs.”
