Recruitment of young people to participate in the ‘Gyeonggi Youth Gap Year Project’, which supports young people to find their dreams and materialize them while challenging the things they want to do, started on May 12th. The number of applicants is 600, and applications are accepted until the 31st.
The ‘Gyeonggi Youth Gap Year Program’ is a project supported by Gyeonggi-do and the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation to explore and challenge the work they want to do for young people who are worried about their career.
Eligible applicants are young people between the ages of 19 and 34 who can apply individually or as a team. A total of 600 people are recruited, 300 people in the 1st period and 300 people in the 2nd period. Stage 1 starts in July and Stage 2 starts in August.
Not only students on leave of absence or unemployed youths, but also university students who can secure project time such as vacations and weekends, and youths who want to change jobs can participate.
The scope of the project will be supported so that young people can try various projects planned by themselves, without limiting themes such as publishing magazines that cater to the taste of young people, farming creators for coexistence between urban and rural areas, and clothing platform production.
In particular, for smooth project progress, mentoring by experts in each field, capacity building training, and job aptitude testing are also supported.
However, if the content of the project is politically or religiously biased, has been introduced in an existing contest, or infringes on the copyrighted work of others, it may be excluded from selection.
Young people who wish to participate can apply online at the Gyeonggi Provincial Job Foundation Job Bar Application during the recruitment period. After that, the applicants will go through document screening and interviews before announcing the final candidates. Grab Bar Apply (https://apply.jobaba.net)
The final selected youths can receive up to 5 million won in project support per person as the size of the subsidy is determined through an interim inspection while the project lasts for 100 days.
Lee In-yong, head of the Gyeonggi-do Youth Opportunity Division, said, “Any young man needs a gap year to design his future. Gyeonggi-do will provide support so that he can dream and take on challenges.”
Meanwhile, Gyeonggi-do is promoting three major youth opportunity package projects, including the ‘Gyeonggi Youth Gap Year’, ‘Gyeonggi Youth Ladder’ and ‘Gyeonggi Youth Capacity Building Opportunity Support’ as the representative youth policy projects of the 8th civil election.
The ‘Gyeonggi Youth Ladder’, which provides young people with overseas training experiences such as the United States and Australia, showed high interest in the competition rate of 31 to 1, with 4,682 applications for 150 applicants.
Also, from April 28th to May 16th, we are recruiting 50 participants for overseas training at Fudan University in China.
The ‘Gyeonggi Youth Competency Enhancement Opportunity Support’, which supports the language license test fee of up to 300,000 won per year per unemployed youth, is also accepting participants from May 1st to June 30th.
