Cheongyeon announced on September 16, 2026, that it has opened a "Private Employment Training Center" and will launch a full-scale job training program for seniors aged 60 and above.


Cheongyeon was selected in June as an implementing agency for the "Private Employment Training Center Pilot Project" under the Korea Senior Workforce Development Institute, which is affiliated with the Ministry of Health and Welfare. This project is designed to develop and operate job training programs aimed at strengthening the employment capabilities of Korean nationals aged 60 and above, as well as to support the creation of a talent pool and job placement connections.

During the project period, which runs through December 31 of this year, Cheongyeon aims to provide training for approximately 4,000 people and achieve a job placement success rate of over 70% among program graduates. The training curriculum is focused on basic theory and practical work for roles such as household cleaning and senior daily care, as well as customer service and safety training. Korean nationals aged 60 and older are eligible to participate free of charge, and graduates are expected to receive ongoing follow-up support and to be connected with activity opportunities as Cheongyeon managers.


Currently, Cheongyeon operates the home cleaning service "Cheongso Research Institute" and the senior daily care service "Cheongyeon Care," relying on its manager network that includes around 200,000 people nationwide.


Cheongyeon plans to strengthen its senior job training system in connection with this pilot training support project. Building on its collaboration with the Korea Senior Workforce Development Institute, the company aims to support program graduates so they can demonstrate their expertise on the job and deliver high-quality services in the field.



Hyunju Yeon, CEO of Cheongyeon, stated, "Based on our many years of experience operating manager training and matching systems, we will provide education that helps senior job seekers successfully connect to real positions." She added, "We hope this pilot project will become an opportunity to expand economic participation among middle-aged and senior citizens."
