Employment Support Project for Marriage Immigrants and Foreigners Living in Gwangjin-gu

Support for Course Fees and Exam Fees for Certifications such as ‘Barista Level 3’, ‘Computer Utilization Ability Level 2’, and ‘Driver’s License Written Test’

Exam Fee Support for TOPIK Level 3 to 6 Test Takers

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is operating a certification acquisition support project to strengthen the employment capabilities of marriage immigrants.

According to the 2021 National Multicultural Family Survey, as the settlement of multicultural families in Korea becomes prolonged, marriage immigrants face new difficulties such as economic hardships, social prejudice, and discrimination rather than language communication and cultural unfamiliarity.

Accordingly, the district supports the acquisition of certifications that are useful for employment to help the economic independence of marriage immigrants and ensure the stable settlement of multicultural families.

For marriage immigrants and foreigners living in Gwangjin-gu, certification acquisition classes linked with professional educational institutions are operated for ▲Barista Level 3 ▲Computer Utilization Ability Level 2 ▲Driver’s License (Written Test), with full support for course fees and exam fees.

In addition, exam fees are supported for those taking the Korean Language Proficiency Test (TOPIK) levels 3 to 6.

Furthermore, employment support will be strengthened by connecting jobs through the Gwangjin-gu Job Center.

Applications can be made on the Gwangjin-gu Family Center website. Since the application period varies depending on the type of certification, detailed information can be found on the Gwangjin-gu Family Center website or its Instagram.

Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, “I hope this project will help enhance the employment capabilities of marriage immigrants,” and added, “We will continue various policy supports to help multicultural families settle stably in society.”
