Taean County in Chungnam, which has recorded the highest number of participants in the province's 'Senior Job Program' for five consecutive years, has officially launched this year's project.
According to Taean County on the 13th, a kickoff ceremony for the '2025 Senior Job and Social Activity Support Project' was held at each town office and the Taean Senior Club, with all participants in the senior job program in attendance, which also included safety education.

This year's participants will be assigned to tasks such as senior center assistants, school traffic support, Nono Care, and support for childcare facilities at town offices (1,940 people), senior associations (997 people), Taean Senior Club (1,930 people), Taean Senior Welfare Center (150 people), Baekhwa Senior Welfare Center (150 people), and Anmyeondo Senior Welfare Center (300 people).
