Han Seong-min, Yeonsu District Council Member: "Job training must be applicable on-site... The sports center needs to be checked from the residents' perspective"

Han Seong-min, a member of the Yeonsu District Council (People Power Party, Seonhak, Yeonsu 2, Yeonsu 3, Dongchun 3), checked the effectiveness of job policies and the completion process of the Yeonsu Sports Center construction project during the main business report of the Planning and Welfare Committee at the 277th Yeonsu District Council temporary meeting held on February 2.

The council member focused on the newly introduced general security guard training course and hospital escort manager qualification course related to the 'customized employment support program by class' reported as a core project this year. He evaluated, "The direction of transitioning to practical training that can be immediately applied on-site rather than just theoretical education is very desirable."

Regarding the hospital escort manager course, he stated, "Since the certification is issued through a professional qualification verification agency rather than an administrative agency, it will have high reliability and usability," giving it a positive assessment. He also mentioned that the general security guard course, which promotes both legal re-education and employment linkage simultaneously, could provide practical help to job seekers.

However, the council member pointed out that a detailed review is necessary regarding the structural changes in the employment support target. He emphasized, "In 2025, the project targeted five classes, but this year it has been reorganized into three categories: women, middle-aged, and new middle-aged. Since the youth and specialized high school target projects have been excluded, clear guidance and supplementation are needed to prevent policy gaps."

He particularly mentioned the overlap between the middle-aged and new middle-aged age groups, stating, "Sufficient explanation and guidance should be provided at the recruitment announcement stage so that participants can choose the appropriate course themselves."

In the subsequent inquiries, a check was conducted on the Yeonsu Sports Center construction project. The council member stated, "The reported construction progress rate was 58.82% as of December last year, but as of February, it has been confirmed to be about 70% complete," and added, "As the exterior construction is nearing completion, defect management is crucial."

He specifically focused on the ventilation and air conditioning systems related to the swimming pool facilities, which had high demand from residents. The council member emphasized, "Since the swimming pool is a facility with high costs and maintenance burdens, differentiated construction methods and the proper functioning of the ventilation system must be thoroughly verified during the trial operation process from the design stage."

Additionally, he requested, "Please consider conducting defect checks at the departmental level before the management authority is transferred, rather than after completion, and involve residents in on-site inspections," stating, "The Yeonsu Sports Center should be a facility that residents can use with satisfaction for a long time."
