Gwangju's First Youth Support Program
Six Types Including ChatGPT and Office Software
Up to 50,000 Won Provided on a First-Come, First-Served Basis
Gwangju Bukgu District has launched a "Software Purchase and Subscription Fee Support" program to assist young people with their job search and self-development. This is the first time such a policy has been implemented in Gwangju, targeting services such as ChatGPT and office programs.
On April 20, Bukgu District announced, "Through the Youth Software Purchase Cost Support Project, we will provide a one-time subsidy of up to 50,000 won to 280 young people aged 19 to 39." Applicants must be registered residents of Bukgu, and applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the budget is exhausted.
The eligible software was selected based on a local youth survey conducted in February. The six types are: ▲ChatGPT PLUS ▲Hancom Office ▲MS Office ▲Adobe ▲MangoBoard ▲Miri Canvas. However, software for corporate, educational institution, or business use is excluded from support.
The purchase or subscription end date for the eligible software must be after January 1, 2025. Applications must include proof of purchase under the applicant's name and address. Applications received by the end of each month will be paid to the individual's account by the 15th of the following month.
Applications can be submitted through the Bukgu District Youth Center website. For more details, inquiries can be made to the Bukgu District Youth Future Policy Office.
District Chief Moon In said, "Through this project, which is being implemented for the first time in Gwangju, I hope young people can use the necessary software without financial burden and focus on job searching and self-development. We will continue to implement policies to make Bukgu a better place for young people to live."
