This year, the province will support a total of 1,424 Saeil women interns, connecting companies and female job seekers through 29 Women's Reemployment Centers across the province.

Participating companies will receive up to 2.4 million won in recruitment support funds per intern, and if they convert the intern to a regular position and maintain employment, they will receive up to 1.6 million won in employment retention incentives.

Female participants who convert to regular employment and work for more than six months will receive a retention incentive of 600,000 won, encouraging stable employment and settlement.

Last year, a total of 1,609 women participated in the Saeil internship program, and 1,554 of them successfully transitioned to regular employment. Based on these achievements, the province plans to continue supporting job creation this year by connecting the hiring needs of companies with the job-seeking needs of women.

In particular, the province plans to provide detailed support, including career interruption prevention programs, job adaptation counseling, and follow-up management, so that women who have experienced career interruptions due to childbirth, childcare, or family care can gain hands-on work experience and secure opportunities for regular employment.

Kwon Jeonghyun, Director of Gender Equality and Employment at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We have established a support system to provide step-by-step assistance, from offering work experience to transitioning to regular employment and maintaining employment," adding, "We will strive to expand gender-equal workplaces through policies that enable women with career experience to stably enter the local industrial and labor markets."

Applications can be submitted year-round through the 29 Women's Reemployment Centers in the province.
