This agreement was promoted in collaboration with the Seoul Employment Welfare Plus Center under the Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Office and the Seoul Jeongsu Campus of Korea Polytechnic University to address labor shortages faced by companies seeking to hire middle-aged workers and to support employment opportunities for the middle-aged.

With the recent growth of the semiconductor industry, there has been an active expansion of production facilities and new investments, which has led to increased demand for safety personnel at construction sites. This initiative aims to respond effectively to companies' workforce needs.

Going forward, the three organizations plan to provide smooth workforce support for workplaces that require safety personnel and offer job opportunities to middle-aged individuals who face difficulties in finding employment.

Cha Youngtae, Executive Director of the MainBiz Association, stated, "Through this agreement, we will strive to build an employment network among institutions, associations, universities, and companies, and to develop tailored cooperation models."
