Gangwon Provincial Government

[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gangwon Province will provide a monthly transportation allowance of 50,000 KRW to young workers employed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in industrial complexes.

According to the province on the 16th, to alleviate the transportation cost burden on young workers employed at SMEs in industrial complexes with poor transportation conditions, and to promote the influx of young workers into industrial complexes and resolve job mismatches, transportation expenses will be supported in the form of vouchers for young workers aged 15 to 34 until the end of this year.

If selected as a beneficiary, the voucher amount up to 50,000 KRW per month can be used for transportation costs such as bus, subway, taxi, and private vehicle (fuel, electricity) via credit or debit cards. The upper age limit can be extended up to 5 years corresponding to the period of military service.

Youths wishing to apply can confirm their eligibility for the target industrial complex and apply through the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation's Youth Transportation Cost Support Project. Beneficiaries will be selected within the budget range and notified to applicants and card companies.
