[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yuk Miseok] Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun (Governor Kim Sunho) announced on the 16th that it will promote the Career Connection Voucher Card support project, which provides 200,000 KRW to encourage early social reintegration for women with career interruptions who face difficulties returning to work due to childbirth and childcare.

Eligibility for application includes women aged 35 to 54 with career interruptions who have registered as job seekers at the employment support agency ‘Women New Work Center,’ have resided in Gurye-gun for more than one year, and whose health insurance premiums are at or below 150% of the median income as of the announcement date.

Applications can be submitted at the resident’s local eup/myeon office until November 30.

After selection, applicants can receive the card at the NH Nonghyup Bank Gurye-gun branch and use it for purchasing books, tuition fees, interview preparation costs, and other employment preparation expenses.

However, those who benefit from similar welfare services such as the Women Farmers Happiness Voucher under other laws, participants in the Employment Success Package, and those involved in government-supported job projects are excluded from eligibility.

Kim Sunho, Governor of Gurye-gun, stated, “We will continuously promote projects to develop women’s capabilities and encourage employment, leading the community where women can realize their dreams.”
