The five projects include ▲job seeker training ▲job placement support ▲support for new hires ▲support for incumbent workers ▲corporate support and consulting.

Through this project, Gyeonggi Provincial Government expects to alleviate the supply-demand imbalance of manpower in the province's automotive industry, reduce early turnover among new employees, and enhance companies' capabilities to retain their workforce.

Bae Jingi, Director of Job and Economic Policy at Gyeonggi Provincial Government, stated, "This project aims to timely supply the talent needed by companies amid changes in the province's core automotive industry and to help existing employees continue to grow in the field. We hope that agencies with expertise and a strong sense of responsibility will actively participate and enhance the on-site implementation of Gyeonggi Province's employment policies."
