Gyeonggi Province is closing applications on the 30th of this month for the second half of the ‘Gyeonggi Youth Capacity Building Opportunity Support Project,’ which provides up to 300,000 KRW to unemployed youth for language and qualification exam fees.
Actual payments will be made sequentially in December after a verification process, and those taking exams in December can apply for exam fees next year.
This project is part of the 8th term youth opportunity series and aims to reduce the burden of job preparation for youth by reimbursing actual costs for fees of 19 language tests including TOEIC, 544 national technical qualifications, and 95 nationally certified private qualifications.
Youth residing in Gyeonggi Province as of January 1, 2023 (according to youth age defined by city/county ordinances) who are unemployed as of the exam date are eligible to apply.
The maximum support per person is 300,000 KRW, with up to 100,000 KRW per exam for up to three times. However, for youth taking mainly low-cost exams, support can be received more than four times annually within a total limit of 100,000 KRW per year.
Applicants can sign up and apply through the Gyeonggi Job Foundation’s online integrated application system ‘Jobaba Apply’ (apply.jobaba.net).
