[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 27th that it is recruiting participants for this year's Architectural Design Talent Development Project, which supports training expenses for architects aspiring to become world-class architects.

Since last year, the Ministry has been implementing the Architectural Design Talent Development Project and has selected 35 overseas trainees. Currently, 13 trainees are undergoing training in countries such as Singapore, Spain, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Eligibility requirements include students in their third year or above, or those who graduated within 10 years from domestic or overseas universities (graduate schools) in architecture-related departments, and young architects who have obtained their architect license within the last 7 years. The application period is from June 8 to June 19.

Applicants must submit a training plan, portfolio, and additional documents by the application deadline. After the first round (document screening) and the second round (in-depth interview), approximately 60 final trainees will be selected in July.

The training period can range from a minimum of 3 months to a maximum of 12 months. Each trainee will receive support of up to 30 million KRW per person for round-trip airfare, visa issuance fees, pre-training expenses, and living expenses.

Additionally, the Ministry plans to support costs required for architectural activities such as international design competitions, projects, and overseas exhibitions, promoting capacity building through various training opportunities.
