[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, is promoting a one-time 200,000 won voucher card support project to encourage early social reintegration of career-interrupted women who face difficulties returning to work due to childbirth and childcare.

According to the county on the 30th, the eligibility criteria are women aged 35 to 54 who have had an address in Jangheung-gun for more than one year as of the application date and have registered as job seekers at employment support institutions (Women’s New Work Center, Employment Welfare Plus Center). The number of recruits is 178.

Additionally, applicants must have paid health insurance premiums for the previous month at or below 150% of the median income as of the application date.

Applications can be submitted at the local town or township offices by the 30th of next month. If selected as a beneficiary, applicants can receive a voucher card issued by NH Nonghyup Jangheung-gun branch, which can be used to purchase job preparation books, pay for employment course fees, and cover interview preparation expenses.

However, applicants without an address in Jangheung-gun at the time of application or those who are beneficiaries of similar welfare services under other laws, such as the National Tomorrow Learning Card or Women Farmers Happiness Voucher, are excluded.

County Governor Jeong Jong-sun said, “We will continue to implement policies to develop the abilities of women who find it difficult to return to society due to childbirth and childcare and to encourage their employment.”
