"Paldal Daycare Center Harmony Operation Project" Recognized by Both Suwon City and Gyeonggi Province

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Paldal District announced on the 11th that it was selected in the "2020 Job Policy Market Project" public recruitment organized by Gyeonggi Province and secured 220 million won in provincial funds.

The "Job Policy Market Project" is an initiative that improves public services and creates a favorable job environment by discovering job policies with high job creation effects. Seven cities and counties including Paldal District, along with four public institutions, were selected as recruitment project operators.

The district submitted the "Suwon Paldal Daycare Center Harmony Operation Project" in this public recruitment. In a situation where foreign children exceed 10% of the childcare population, this is a measure to resolve communication difficulties between childcare staff, children, and parents. To this end, foreigners (multicultural) women who have obtained Korean language qualifications will be hired and deployed as childcare staff.

The district deployed and operated two foreign language (Chinese)-capable childcare staff members as Harmony teachers through the New Jobs Public Employment Project last year.

The district received awards in the "2019 Suwon City Regulatory Reform," "Exemplary Civil Service Cases," and "Paldal District Excellence Policy Evaluation."

The district explained that it is receiving strong positive responses from daycare centers and the necessity of multicultural childcare staff has been verified.
