Three-Way Agreement: From Discovering Local Youth to Linking Employment Support

This agreement was initiated as Seongbuk and Dobong Districts were newly selected for the '2026 Ministry of Employment and Labor Youth Support Contest Project.' It aims to connect the youth support programs of both district offices with the employment support services of the Seoul Northern Employment and Labor Office.

Seongbuk District is running the 'Youth Challenge Support Project' to help young people who have difficulty finding jobs regain their confidence and motivation, while Dobong District operates the 'Youth Growth Project' to prevent youth from giving up on job searching and to support their workplace adaptation.

The three institutions have agreed to use the 'Seoul Northern Regional Youth Employment Network' as a hub to identify local youth and connect each institution's youth support programs and employment support services. They will also work together to recruit participants, promote projects, share programs and job information, and uncover best practices to spread successful results.

By institution, the Seoul Northern Employment and Labor Office will manage the regional youth employment network and link the programs of the district offices with the employment support services of the Northern Employment Center. Seongbuk and Dobong Districts will focus on discovering local youth, providing program information, and running exchange and collaboration programs between the districts. In particular, Seongbuk District, through the 'Seoul Youth Center Seongbuk,' will operate the Youth Challenge Support Project and, after participants complete the program, further connect and guide them to the employment support services offered by the Employment and Labor Office.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk District, stated, "This agreement has established a strong foundation for organically connecting the youth support infrastructure held by each institution," adding, "We will continue to closely cooperate with related institutions to help young people regain their motivation and confidence in job searching, and to support their stable integration into society and the labor market."
