For qualification exam fees, up to 100,000 KRW per person can be supported. Eligible exam types include ▲language proficiency ▲national technical qualifications ▲national professional certifications ▲nationally certified private qualifications ▲Korean History Proficiency Test, and support is provided regardless of exam scores or certification acquisition for those who actually took the qualification exams.
Additionally, youth who attended interviews for employment can receive an interview allowance of 50,000 KRW per interview, up to twice a year (maximum 100,000 KRW), regardless of whether they pass the interview.
Jung Jong-bok, the county governor, said, “We will continue to prepare various support measures to assist the youth generation, who will play a pivotal role in the development of Gijang-gun, in their successful job search activities.”
