Yeonggwang-gun Promotes 'Youth Employment Activity Allowance Support Project'

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 11th that it will promote the ‘Youth Employment Activity Allowance Support Project’ to support job-seeking activities for unemployed youth amid the prolonged COVID-19 employment downturn.

This project provides youth job seekers with an allowance of up to 3 million KRW over six months, paying 500,000 KRW monthly to cover expenses incurred during job-seeking activities such as academy tuition, book purchases, exam (certification) fees, and transportation costs, actively supporting unemployed youth’s social entry.

The support scale is 50 people, and the eligibility criteria are ▲youth aged 18 to 45 residing in the county ▲those who have graduated, completed, or dropped out of their final education ▲unemployed youth with a willingness to seek employment whose household income is below 150% of the median income.

Applications can be submitted at the local town or township office of the applicant’s address until the 29th.

A county official said, “We hope the employment activity allowance will help expand youth’s job-seeking activities and social participation opportunities,” adding, “We will work even harder to create an environment where young people can return and nurture their dreams.”

For more details, please check the county office website.
