Hwang Minan, Director of the New Vitality Economic Policy Office, said, "This is an essential project for residents who have difficulty finding employment, as it helps low-income households cover living expenses and establish a foundation for self-reliance. We will continue to actively discover and support various job opportunities to promote economic stability for the unemployed youth and vulnerable groups such as low-income households."

Applications can be submitted until the 18th by bringing the application form and a copy of your ID to your local eup or myeon office.
