Sejong City Provides '100,000 Won Worth' Support to Youth... Utilized for Career and Job Experience

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City will support local youth with a point card worth 100,000 KRW.

The city announced on the 10th that it will provide the career experience card, "Kkumkki Card," to local youth aged 13.

The recipients are first-year middle school students registered as residents in Sejong and out-of-school youth. The Kkumkki Card can be used by these youths for cultural, artistic, and career experience activities.

When the city issues the rechargeable point card to the recipients, it can be used as a payment method at affiliated stores in fields such as career, job, cultural experiences, and sports viewing.

Last year, the city supported a total of 46,52 youths with approximately 362.57 million KRW. This year, the number of recipients is expected to reach about 5,000.

Applications and registrations can be made at each middle school and the eup/myeon/dong community service centers, and after receiving the card, users must complete registration on the Kkumkki Card website.

There are about 180 affiliated stores where the Kkumkki Card can be used, and the list of affiliated stores can be checked on the Kkumkki Card website.

The Kkumkki Cards issued this year must be used by December 15, and points will automatically expire after this period.

Lee Chun-hee, Mayor of Sejong City, said, “We will strive to secure additional affiliated stores to provide youth with various cultural activities and career experience opportunities,” adding, “The city will continue to comply with quarantine guidelines such as social distancing to ensure that experience activities proceed smoothly.”
