Uljugun to Select "Young Master Artisans" to Strengthen Support for Local Skilled Technicians

Up to Five Selected from 92 Occupations in 38 Fields
Technical Encouragement Grant of 1 Million KRW per Person

Uljugun in Ulsan will select the "2025 Uljugun Young Master Artisans" to discover and support skilled young technicians in the region's industrial sector.

The Young Master Artisan program aims to strengthen the competitiveness of local industries based on technology by selecting young technicians with a certain level of experience and skill, thereby boosting their pride and supporting their continued technical activities.

This year, up to five individuals will be selected across 92 occupations in 38 fields. To avoid concentration in specific fields or companies, only one person will be chosen per field and per company.

Eligible applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 39 and have resided in Uljugun for at least one year as of the announcement date. They must also have at least seven years of work experience in the same field and occupation within Uljugun's industrial sector. Contributions to the advancement of skilled technology or improvement of status will also be recognized.

However, those who have already been designated as Korea Master Craftsmen, Outstanding Skilled Technicians, or Ulsan Metropolitan City Master Craftsmen are not eligible to apply. Additionally, those in office, education, or research positions, which are not considered industrial field workers, are also excluded.

Applicants wishing to apply should visit the Uljugun Office Employment Support Division or submit their applications by registered mail by the 12th of next month. The application form and related documents can be found on the Uljugun website.

Uljugun will conduct a first-round document review, followed by on-site inspections and interviews in the second round. The final selection will be made by the Young Master Artisan Selection Committee. Those selected will receive a certificate in the name of the Uljugun Mayor and a technical encouragement grant of 1 million KRW per person.

An Uljugun official stated, "Through the Young Master Artisan program, we will discover young talent to lead the region's industry and actively support them so they can grow with pride."
