Yangcheon District Launches Employment Linkage Program for Middle-Aged "Airport Cargo Security Specialists"

Applications Open from July 13
30 Participants Aged 40 to 64 to Be Recruited

Yangcheon District in Seoul (District Mayor: Lee Kijae) will begin accepting applications for its "Airport Cargo Security Specialist Employment Linkage Program" starting from July 13, in an effort to support stable re-employment for middle-aged and older adults.

This program has been designed to cultivate practical, job-ready professionals who can be immediately deployed in the field, in response to the increased cargo volume and rising demand for air cargo security personnel driven by the growth of the air logistics industry.

The district will operate an integrated curriculum that encompasses basic education, theoretical and practical training, and on-site field trips. By supplementing the limitations of traditional aviation security training, which typically focuses on statutory education, the district aims to organically connect education and employment to achieve tangible job placement results.

Eligible applicants are Seoul residents aged 40 to 64 as of the announcement date who meet the physical requirements necessary to perform aviation security and special security duties. A total of 30 participants will be recruited. Applications can be submitted online from July 13 to August 11 through the Seoul "50 Plus Job Portal." For more information, please contact the Yangcheon 50 Plus Center at 02-6949-5068.

The training will be held from August 28 to September 17, spanning a total of 15 sessions (63 hours). The main curriculum includes: ▲ Access control for restricted areas ▲ Practical cargo security screening ▲ X-ray interpretation ▲ Field trip to the Incheon Airport cargo terminal ▲ Resume and self-introduction letter writing ▲ Mock interviews, with a focus on hands-on, field-oriented content.

Upon completion of the program, participants will be provided with one-on-one on-site interviews and employment linkage through a "Hiring Day" event involving HR representatives from companies in the aviation security sector. The district also plans to provide systematic follow-up support to ensure successful employment even after program completion.

Meanwhile, Yangcheon District continues to run a variety of employment-linked programs to enhance the employability of the middle-aged and older adults. This year, the district has supported re-employment and expanded social participation by offering a total of 88 courses—including Haircut Activist, Barista Certification, and Toy Repair Specialist programs—with approximately 1,500 people participating.

District Mayor Lee Kijae stated, "This initiative is a practical employment program that provides one-stop support from education to job placement," adding, "We will continue to expand customized job initiatives to help middle-aged and older adults enter the labor market in a stable manner."
