Gyeonggi-do Supports Unemployed Youth with Up to 300,000 KRW for Language and Certification Exam Fees

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will support unemployed youth with language and qualification exam fees up to 300,000 KRW.

On the 22nd, Gyeonggi Province announced that it is accepting applications until the 30th of this month for the first half of the year for the "Gyeonggi Youth Capacity Building Opportunity Support Project," part of the 8th term public pledge projects in 16 cities and counties including Yongin-si.

Applications can be submitted through the Gyeonggi Job Foundation's integrated application system. Exam fees for 19 types of language tests such as TOEIC, 544 types of national technical qualifications, and 95 types of nationally certified private qualifications will be reimbursed at actual cost.

The maximum annual support per youth is 300,000 KRW. Up to 100,000 KRW per exam can be received up to three times. However, for youth who mainly take low-cost exams, exam fees can be supported more than three times within a total annual limit of 100,000 KRW, and support is provided on a first-come, first-served basis until the budget for each city or county is exhausted.

Since the exam fee support project’s budget may be depleted by city or county, unemployed youth who have already taken exams are advised to apply promptly.

Exam fees applied for in the first half of the year will be sequentially paid by July after a verification process.
