Participants will also receive various benefits, including ▲enrollment in the four major social insurances ▲weekly and monthly leave allowances ▲health checkups for safety and health management ▲training on occupational safety, sexual harassment prevention, and human rights.
The application period runs until May 12. Any Gwanak-gu resident aged 18 or older with the ability to work as of the project start date is eligible to apply.
