FSS Invites Applications for the 11th FSS University Student Financial Education Volunteer Group

The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) is recruiting university students to carry out financial education volunteer activities for elementary, middle, and high school students, multicultural (foreign) families, and senior citizens.

On the 14th, the FSS announced that it will recruit the '11th FSS University Student Financial Education Volunteer Group' from the 15th of this month until 5 p.m. on the 23rd of next month.

The recruitment targets are first- to third-year students of four-year universities nationwide and students on leave of absence equivalent to those grades (considering the leave period and expected graduation time comprehensively for the 2-year activity period). Applicants must meet at least one of the eligibility criteria.

The eligibility criteria include ▲ those who have completed or are currently taking the FSS university 'Practical Finance' course (completion of the 'Theory and Practice of Practical Finance' course on the K-MOOC platform is also recognized) ▲ graduates of the FSS Financial Academy ▲ those with experience in financial education volunteering ▲ those who have completed more than 10 hours of financial education at public institutions such as the Bank of Korea or Korea Exchange ▲ those passionate about financial education volunteering for children, youth, and seniors (evaluated through a self-introduction letter). This year, additional points are given to Chinese and Vietnamese international students, who have high demand for financial education, in preparation for financial education volunteering for multicultural (foreign) families.

The total number of recruits is up to 100, selected by region. Applicants will undergo a comprehensive evaluation based on their financial-related academic history, financial education volunteer experience, and passion for financial education volunteering (self-introduction letter). Successful candidates will be announced on July 28 on the e-Financial Education Center website and notified individually.

Applications can be submitted online at the FSS e-Financial Education Center. The activity period is from September for up to two years and will automatically end upon graduation. Selected students will serve as financial education instructors in programs such as the 'After-School Financial Classroom' for youth, 'Senior Financial Education Supporters' for seniors, and occasional visiting education (multicultural (foreign) families, Financial Love Bus).

Selected university students will receive instructor training to enhance the financial knowledge and teaching skills necessary for financial education volunteering. Additionally, teaching materials and lecture plans that can be used during financial education will be provided, and a nominal activity fee will be paid each time they participate in financial education. The training and launch ceremony are scheduled for August 18, and failure to attend will result in cancellation of volunteer group selection.

Volunteers who complete the financial education instructor training will receive a letter of appointment signed by the FSS Commissioner. A certificate will be issued after completing more than 10 financial education volunteer activities. Outstanding volunteers will also receive rewards and other benefits.
