Gyeonggi-do Selects 280 University Students for Credit-Linked 'Job Internship' Program

Gyeonggi Province is promoting the ‘Gyeonggi-do University Student Dream Link Internship’ project, which allows credit-linked job internships.

This project was first planned in 2019 to provide job internship opportunities to university students in the province in response to companies’ hiring trends that prefer experienced employees.

Gyeonggi Province changed the project name from ‘Gyeonggi-do Type University Student Employment Bridge’ to ‘Gyeonggi-do University Student Dream Link Internship’ to encourage more student participation. The project budget is 1.87 billion KRW. Starting this year, the project has expanded credit-earning field internships to differentiate it from other work experience support programs.

To officially launch the project, Gyeonggi Province will recruit partner universities starting in March. Afterward, selected students who pass the application and interview process with partner universities will receive benefits such as ▲job internship opportunities ▲financial support of at least the minimum wage (about 2.09 million KRW) ▲and academic credit recognition.

The project targets university students who, as of the announcement date, are registered residents of Gyeonggi Province or are enrolled in universities within the province. The recruitment scale is a total of 280 students: 120 seasonal students for two months during the summer vacation (July to August) and 160 semester students for four months (September to December).

Participating companies and partner universities will receive corporate support funds and student management allowances respectively, and students who complete the internship will be given a completion allowance of 500,000 KRW.

Meanwhile, from the project’s inception in 2019 through 2024, Gyeonggi Province has allocated a total budget of 18 billion KRW to provide field internships to 1,700 university students over six years.
