The district is collecting various information to complete the system’s construction during the first half of the year.
The Guro-gu will push for various projects to create a virtual cycle structure that leads to improved employment conditions for companies. It will provide “R&D consulting” to enhance the competitiveness of IoT convergence companies and “working hours and employment consulting” to improve such issues as long-term work hours and low wages. It will also operate the “G Valley Job Creation Cooperation Network” where 17 agencies, including the government, self-governing, industrial and related agencies, will gather to resolve pending jobs and other issues.
