Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Social Economy Center are recruiting around 200 young participants for the "Social Solidarity Economy Youth Work Experience Pilot Project" until July 27.

The social solidarity economy is an economic model that pursues social value and addresses community issues. It encompasses a variety of organizations, including social enterprises, cooperatives, community enterprises, self-support enterprises, and social ventures.

In order to provide youth with diverse practical work experience in the social solidarity economy and to enable social solidarity economy businesses to discover future talent, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety has designed this pilot work experience project for this year. In Gyeonggi Province, 27 cities and counties are participating.

The recruitment is open to unemployed youth living in Gyeonggi Province who are aged between 19 and 39 years old.

The selected participants will work at social solidarity economy organizations in their city or county of residence, such as community enterprises, (social) cooperatives, or nonprofit corporations and organizations related to the social solidarity economy. The program runs from August to December for up to five months, with each participant working 40 hours per week (five days a week, eight hours a day), undertaking a variety of on-site work tasks.
