The program is open to unemployed youth aged 18 to 49 who are registered residents of Yanggu County. Eligible applicants must register as job seekers at the Yanggu County Job Support Center and either obtain a professional certification or successfully gain employment through job placement services.

The county provides up to 100,000 won as a certification acquisition allowance, 300,000 won as an "employment success allowance" to youth who remain employed for more than six months after job placement, and an additional 300,000 won as a "settlement allowance" for those who remain employed for an additional nine months. Youth who work at the same company for at least 15 months can receive up to 700,000 won in total allowances. All allowances are provided in the form of Yanggu Love Gift Certificates (Baekop Pay) to promote local consumption.

Imi Sook, Director of the Economic and Sports Division, stated, "This program provides practical support for young people struggling with the initial costs of employment," adding, "We hope to see active participation from youth who are preparing for employment or who have recently found jobs."

Yanggu County expects this support program to encourage long-term employment among youth and foster a stable employment environment for companies, thereby creating a virtuous cycle of local settlement and business growth.

The county plans to continue the program in 2026. Applications can be submitted through the Yanggu County Job Support Center. For more information, please refer to the notices on the Yanggu County Office website or contact the Job Support Team at the Economic and Sports Division of Yanggu County.
