Support for unemployed youth in the province; up to 210,000 won per person in interview allowance...Application intake expected in May
[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hoon] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 3rd that it has posted the '2020 Gyeonggi Province Youth Job Interview Allowance Implementation Plan' on the provincial website ahead of the full-scale implementation of the 'Youth Job Interview Allowance.'
The 'Youth Job Interview Allowance' is a policy to support active job-seeking activities among youth, providing up to 210,000 won in interview allowance to unemployed youth in the province who engage in job interview activities.
Eligible applicants are unemployed youth born between 1985 and 2002 (based on birth year) who are registered residents of the province (part-time workers working less than 36 hours per week and fixed-term workers are also eligible to apply).
For interviews conducted this year, applicants can apply in bulk for up to 6 times at 35,000 won per interview, and after confirming eligibility, the interview allowance corresponding to the number of interviews applied for (up to 210,000 won) will be paid in bulk through regional currency.
Applications and intake for this year are scheduled to begin around May when the online application system is completed, and specific details such as recruitment schedules will be announced through separate recruitment notices.
Youth seeking to receive the interview allowance should prepare supporting documents for interviews such as job postings and interview confirmation letters, and then apply online according to the application schedule and procedures to be announced later.
An important point to note is that the Gyeonggi Province Youth Job Interview Allowance targets youth who are not benefiting from government projects, so simultaneous support is not possible for youth already participating in government unemployment youth support projects such as job-seeking activity support grants.
For more details, please refer to the '2020 Gyeonggi Province Youth Job Interview Allowance Implementation Plan' in the notices and announcements section of the provincial website.
Lee Byeong-woo, Director of the Welfare Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "Since this policy provides interview expense support to alleviate the economic burden of youth actively seeking jobs, it is expected that many young people will benefit from this and it will contribute to their job-seeking activities."
