Caredoc announced on the 17th that it signed a business agreement with the Seoul Metropolitan Government Social Economy Support Center to create a job ecosystem for 1.85 million senior citizens in Seoul.
This agreement mainly aims to create jobs for senior workers, promote the growth of senior social enterprises, and establish a public-private cooperation network among social economy organizations. The Seoul Metropolitan Government Social Economy Support Center is a public-private governance organization that supports social economy enterprises, and operates programs to expand sales channels and strengthen self-reliance of social economy organizations located in Seoul, such as social enterprises, cooperatives, and village enterprises.
Caredoc and the center will cooperate in providing entrepreneurship education and employment opportunities in the care sector, such as home care and home visits, with the common goal of expanding seniors’ participation in social and economic activities and establishing a foundation for the growth of senior businesses. The center will select and recommend training targets, and the two sides will jointly plan and operate related programs.
In addition, we will build a cooperative network between Seoul City’s social economy organizations and Caredoc, and support the development of sales channels and sustainable growth of senior companies by expanding the purchase of excellent products and services from these companies. Caredoc will also actively propose and support policies and programs for major senior welfare facilities in Seoul City.
Caredoc has been proposing a model of public-private cooperation in the fields of senior care and housing, and is also continuing social contribution activities such as participating in National Assembly policy debates and cooperating with private care services for national heroes.
Jang Neung-in, director of the Seoul Metropolitan Government Social Economy Support Center, said, “We believe that this agreement will be an important opportunity to promote social participation of senior citizens and lay the foundation for the growth of social economy enterprises, and we will continue to strengthen public-private cooperation.”
Caredoc CEO Jae-Byung Park said, “Based on this agreement, we expect to expand the public-private cooperation model that will promote the expansion of senior jobs and the growth of related companies, and contribute to alleviating the social isolation and economic vulnerability of seniors.”
