Uiwang City Launches Uiwang Youth Mentoring Internship Support Program

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 14th that it is launching the 'Uiwang Youth Mentoring Internship Support Program' as a new project to create youth employment in 2021.

Since 2019, the city has operated one-day job skill camps twice a year, recruiting mentors for four major positions preferred by youth and allowing participants to experience theory and project-based practical training in a single day. Subsequently, to address the shortcoming of inadequate linkages to on-site training and employment, the city decided to pursue the Uiwang Youth Mentoring Internship Program.

Interns will be selected through interviews from among participants of the one-day job skill camps. During the three-month internship period, participants will receive 80% of labor costs, up to 1.6 million won per month. Additionally, upon conversion to a permanent position after the internship period, an additional three months of labor costs will be supported.

Recruiting enterprises must be businesses with five or more employees who are enrolled in employment insurance and capable of providing on-site training by position. Applications can be submitted in person at the city's Employment and Labor Department from the 19th to 23rd.

Enterprises interested in participating in the Uiwang Youth Mentoring Internship Support Program should refer to the city's homepage notices and announcements board, and submit their application forms and required documents in person to the Youth Policy Team of the Employment and Labor Department.
