For those employed through the project, an employment incentive of up to 3 million KRW will be paid in installments of 1 million KRW each based on the length of continuous employment (6 months, 12 months, 24 months) to encourage long-term retention and promote employment stability.


Eligibility for application requires companies located in Gochang with three or more regular employees, which have plans to hire additional full-time workers beyond the current regular workforce or have youth employees with less than six months of employment, and are able to pay wages above the minimum hourly wage.


Interested companies can download the application form and required documents from the Gochang-gun website, complete them, and submit either by visiting the Youth Startup Team on the 3rd floor of the New Vitality Economic Policy Office in Gochang-gun or by mail.
