A total of five full-time staff, including the center director, are required.
Further details can be found on the notice and announcement board of the Paju City Hall website. Those wishing to apply must visit the Paju City Climate Crisis Response Division in person on June 18 to submit their application. After a review of eligible candidates for private consignment, the final operating institution is expected to be selected in early July.
Paju City Mayor Kim Kyoungil stated, "The Environmental Integration Center is more than just an educational space; it is the nation's first integrated model that implements carbon neutrality practices and environmental policies in citizens' daily lives. We hope that specialized organizations in the environmental field will actively participate so that we can create a sustainable future together with our citizens."
