Busan Metropolitan Corporation (BMC) wins Deputy Prime Minister’s Award at 2026 Korea Job Awards

[Financial News] BMC announced on the 9th that it had received the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Award at the 2026 Korea Job Awards.
The Korea Job Awards is part of the Regional Economy Innovation Expo, organized by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) and others. It is presented to local governments and public institutions that have introduced outstanding job-creation policies or achieved results.
A total of 94 local governments and public institutions from across the country participated in this year’s expo. MOIS selected 13 award recipients after reviewing written records of achievements, evaluating on-site exhibition content and conducting a final comprehensive assessment.
For jobs linked to housing welfare, BMC put to use the expertise of seniors with experience in firefighting, safety and health care in providing daily care for rental housing residents and supporting residential safety. It also created jobs linked to urban regeneration by partnering with specialized urban regeneration companies to give young people work experience and support them in finding and keeping jobs.
In addition, through jobs linked to housing supply, BMC supported industrial complex workers with housing close to their workplaces by supplying regionally proposed specialized housing in Block 15 of Busan Eco Delta City. Rather than limiting itself to direct hiring within the organization, it diversified its approach to job creation by leveraging the nature of its projects.
BMC President Shin Chang-ho said, “This award recognizes that the corporation’s key projects can serve as a foundation for creating local jobs.” He added, “As we carry out our projects, we will continue to identify local demand for jobs and take the lead in creating high-quality jobs whose benefits citizens can feel and in revitalizing the local economy.”[email protected] Byun Ok-hwan Reporter
