This project targets approximately 124,000 third-year high school students in the province and supports the enhancement of competitiveness through student-led educational activities and acquisition of certifications. As a result of close cooperation with the Gyeonggi Provincial Council, a budget has been allocated specifically for third-year high school students in the province to be utilized.

In particular, the project plans to increase autonomy and effectiveness by allowing students to choose the programs they need during the operation process.

Additionally, through memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with non-profit organizations such as the Driving School Association, support will be provided to help students more easily acquire practical skills like driving licenses. The project will also actively collaborate with each education support office to discover institutions that can be linked.

Superintendent Lim Tae-hee stated, “Helping students who are about to graduate from high school to acquire basic social competencies and confidently step into society is a very important task in education,” and added, “I hope this competency enhancement support project will assist students in directly designing their futures and realizing their dreams.”
