Korea National Railway Authority to Hire 127 New Workers in First Half

The Korea National Railway Authority said Monday it will hire 127 new employees to help energize the job market and strengthen young people’s practical work skills.
 
The hiring will include 110 youth interns in an experiential program, one driver in a skilled position, 13 field staff members — 11 for protection of nationally important facilities and two for facility management in Gangwon — and three contract workers: two transport equipment vehicle maintenance workers and one commissioned researcher for a national R&D project.
 
The youth internship program will run from the appointment date through the end of the year to provide hands-on experience and help participants build career credentials. Graduates with strong performance will receive a document-screening waiver and additional points when applying for future regular positions, the authority said.
 
Applications will be accepted online through the authority’s recruitment website from May 4 to May 11. After document screening, written tests and interviews, final successful candidates will be announced in June.
 
“This recruitment will be a valuable opportunity for young people to gain meaningful job experience and plan their future,” said Lee An-ho, acting chairman of the Korea National Railway Authority, urging qualified applicants to apply.
