Residents who wish to participate should check the eligibility requirements posted on the Geumcheon-gu Office website and apply in person at their local community center.
The district will comprehensively review applicants' asset status, whether they belong to a vulnerable employment group, and their previous participation in direct job programs to select the final participants. The results will be announced on June 25 in the "Geumcheon News" section of the Geumcheon-gu Office website.
