The Cheongju local government is going to propel businesses in the direction of job creation and supporting women’s reemployment. The social job creation industry will relieve anxiety for the entry of women into public affairs and supply working places to help reemployment.
The industry consists of 9 programs, which will focus on middle aged women who are in career discontinuity, and it is expected to create more than 550 jobs.
  The center of women reemployment, supported by the Cheongju local government, offers ‘One-Stop’, which provides job supporting services like job training education, job counseling, and follow-up management services after getting a job. The center will also construct good working places for women by giving 300,000 won per person and one-on-one expert training to companies that hire women who are in career discontinuity or came from other countries for marriage.
  In addition, they will make comfortable work conditions with childcare services and children course planning to strive for the prevention of women’s career discontinuity.
Meanwhile, the Cheongju local government propelled 12 businesses with 16.6 billion, so it supported more than 5,400 women from 2011 to last year. The center of women’s reemployment collected a fruitful result, which was that it gave jobs to 1,063 women, which is 59.5% among 1,786 people.
  The Cheongju local government planned to back up not only job creation but also women who are preparing to get a job. They are managing the ‘Job creation school’. The school, which is run by the Cheongju YWCA Women Working Develop Center, is spending 30 hours for education from 2 p.m to 5 p.m from Mondays to Fridays, from March 24th to April 4th. The 20 students, who attend the school, have methodical education from basic to executive level for women who plan to open their own companies.
  The main focus of the education is about job creation, like business planning, taking an aptitude test, studying advertising or marketing etc. Then, they give the graduates a chance to visit a job creation fair.
