Goheung-gun Expands Support for Youth Employment and Startups as Regional Growth Engine

Implementation of Social Advancement Ladder for Local High School Graduates

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will expand the implementation of the ‘Local High School Graduates Social Advancement Growth Ladder Support,’ which encourages enrollment in local high schools and regional settlement of young people, and supports professional education expenses for employment and start-ups.

From this year, the eligibility criteria, which previously applied only to high school graduates who did not enter college, have been expanded so that any local youth under the age of 30 who graduated from a high school in the Goheung area can apply regardless of college enrollment status.

The support target is those under 30 years old who graduated from a local high school and have an address in Goheung-gun. The support amount is up to 3.6 million KRW per person, covering 50% of the professional education tuition fees.

The support includes professional education expenses for employment and start-ups, covering all fields related to employment and start-ups such as computer, drone, heavy equipment, beauty, and driver’s license. Applicants can apply by visiting the local town or township office where their resident registration address is located.

A Goheung-gun official said, “To minimize the outflow of young population, we are operating the Nokdong Youth Mall, a youth start-up mall, and Cheongchun Nuri, a youth empathy cultural facility. We are also doing our best to support various youth employment and start-up initiatives, including Goheung-style business succession support for youth, youth CEO marketing activation support, and discovery and consulting support for young entrepreneurs.”
