Gyeonggi Province is collaborating with Carrot Alba to support middle-aged and older-friendly jobs targeting the baby boomer generation. Carrot Alba announced on the 19th that it signed a business agreement (MOU) with Gyeonggi Province for ‘building a good job ecosystem for baby boomers in Gyeonggi Province’ and will open a ‘light job recruitment center’ tailored to Gyeonggi Province.
The signing ceremony took place at the Gyeonggi Light Job Center in Suwon City with the attendance of Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon, Carrot Market CEO Hwang Do-yeon, Gyeonggi Employers’ Federation Chairman Kim Chun-ho, Labor-Management Development Foundation Secretary General Kim Dae-hwan, and Gyeonggi Job Foundation CEO Yoon Deok-ryong. Through this agreement, Carrot will provide ‘light jobs’ that allow flexible work for middle-aged and older job seekers and will play a role in connecting them with companies and small business owners in Gyeonggi Province.
'Light jobs' are jobs that are friendly to the middle-aged and older generations, with a flexible work environment compared to full-time work, with a workweek of 24 to 35 hours. To this end, Carrot plans to support the process of registering job postings and applying for jobs by utilizing the job search service 'Carrot Alba'. Job seekers can apply through the Gyeonggi-do job platform 'Job Ava Apply', and can post job postings after review by the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation.
In particular, Carrot will write 3,000 job postings for free on a first-come, first-served basis and provide the Gyeonggi-do logo and 'Jobs for those over 50' badge. In addition, a separate banner will be displayed on the home screen of the Carrot Alba platform to help job seekers find postings easily and quickly.
This agreement is noteworthy as a new form of cooperation that effectively connects private jobs with local residents. Carrot Alba is expected to play a role in effectively connecting Gyeonggi Provincial Government’s business with residents based on its wide user base and high accessibility. It will also provide middle-aged and older job seekers with new economic activity opportunities and businesses with the opportunity to hire skilled workers.
Hwang Do-yeon, CEO of Carrot Market, said, “This collaboration is a good example of how Carrot’s hyperlocal service can help local economic activity,” and added, “We will continue to work with various organizations to help create a sustainable job ecosystem in the local community.”
