Busan Saeil Center Successfully Concludes - Hotel Room Attendant Workplace Adaptation Program for Marriage Migrant Women

내용

□ The Busan Women’s New Work Center (hereinafter “Busan Saeil Center”), operated by the Busan Women’s Center, announced that it conducted the “Workplace Adaptation Program for Marriage Migrant Women in Hotel Room Attendant Jobs” for three days from April 22 to April 24.

---

□ The Workplace Adaptation Program, launched in 2015, is designed to help women job seekers gain insights into high-demand employment sectors through educational sessions and practical on-site experience, ultimately supporting successful employment.

○ Continuing from last year, this year’s program specifically targeted marriage migrant women and focused on the hotel room attendant sector—a field with growing demand due to initiatives such as Busan’s “workation” (work + vacation) policy.

---

□ Over three days, 12 marriage migrant women participated in the program and experienced a typical workday of a hotel room attendant, including ▲ safety guidelines for room entry ▲ hands-on practice in bed-making and room cleaning based on room types ▲ a tour of the linen room. Outstanding participants may be connected to actual employment opportunities.

○ The program was conducted at the Asti Hotel in Dong-gu, where participants directly experienced room maintenance routines. They learned key skills such as entering guest rooms, performing proper bed-making, and cleaning methods according to room type. They also visited the linen room, the work hub for room attendants, and learned industry-specific terminology.
Busan Saeil Center plans to continue post-program support to facilitate actual job placements for the participants.

○ Participants shared positive feedback, saying, “It was meaningful to try the hotel room cleaning work that I had only imagined before. Although physically demanding, it gave me the motivation and mindset needed for employment.”

---

□ Meanwhile, Busan Saeil Center operates a range of vocational training programs for women who are unemployed or have experienced career interruptions.
In particular, the center aims to create quality hotel room attendant jobs by linking the ▲ Hotel Room Attendant Course (held in March) ▲ the current Workplace Adaptation Program, and ▲ the upcoming Housekeeping Training Course scheduled for the second half of the year.

○ From March 20, the center conducted a 20-day vocational training program for hotel room attendants. All 20 participants completed the course, and 11 of them were immediately connected to employment opportunities.

○ Building on this success, the center plans to continue strengthening employment capabilities and job matching through the September 8–22 “Housekeeping Training Course,” targeting women interested in hotel housekeeping positions.

□ Hong Soo-im, Director of the Busan Women’s Center, stated,
“The hotel room attendant job has become a sought-after position that connects job seekers with employers in our city.
We will continue to develop and promote jobs that meet local demand and solidify the Busan Saeil Center’s role as a bridge between women job seekers and regional businesses, contributing to the creation of quality jobs for women.”
