The council is a consultative body operated to support young people who have given up on job searching as part of the Ministry of Employment and Labor's public project, the 'Youth Challenge Support Project.' It is responsible for discovering participants for the 'Youth Challenge Support Project' and supporting various programs.
Since 2022, the city has been operating the 'Youth Challenge Support Project' to increase young people's motivation to seek jobs and connect them to actual employment. Institutions participating in the project include the Ministry of Employment and Labor Ansan Branch, the nonprofit organization Gachiinneun Nurim, the Ansan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Gyeonggi Technopark.
The Youth Challenge Support Project is divided into three types: short-term, mid-term, and long-term, and operates year-round. Participants in each course receive participation allowances ranging from 500,000 to 2,500,000 KRW, and mid-term and long-term participants are also provided incentives of up to 700,000 KRW and 1,000,000 KRW, respectively. Those wishing to participate can apply through the 'Employment24' website.
