<2009’ Training for Counselors for Tackling Women's Unemployment and Poverty>



On March 19, 2009, training for counselors for Tackling Women’s Unemployment and Poverty was provided.

In order to solidify counseling, in the training  participated by nationwide 11 branches of the Hotline for Equality, regional Self-sufficiency Promotion Centers, and KWWA and its regional branches, they shared information on changes in welfare systems enforced in this year. 

After participants whose jobs are counseling in these organizations learned ‘changed welfare systems in 2009’ (instructed by Ahn Sang-hyup, Korea Research & Counseling Institute on Poverty), they discussed the activity directions of women’s unemployment and poverty, taken by each regional organization on the topic of ‘increasing women’s unemployment and poverty, and reaction of KWWA and its regional organizations in 2009’ (instructed by Choi Sangrim, advisory member of KWWA).

Participants learned about new systems including various housing support systems, and EITC. We hope they can effectively utilize the systems for counselees.
