Seoul to offer job training to migrant women

Seoul City said Wednesday it is to provide job training and entrepreneurship programs for marriage migrant women.

The one- to three-month courses on beauty care, hotel room assistance and SNS marketing will be run in seven women career centers in various districts, including Jungnang, Gwanak and Seongdong.

A government survey showed that 41.5 percent of migrant women in the country were unemployed last year.

Applications will be received through each center starting Thursday.
