Applications can be submitted through the Integrated Job Support Project Reception System (https://apply.jobaba.net). Young people who do not meet the eligibility requirements will be excluded from selection. Selection results will be notified within 10 days of application. Recruitment will close once the budget is exhausted.

Selected youth applicants will receive a 'Youth Card' (Youth Transportation Card). The Youth Card is a public transportation-only card that can be used for buses and subways. A total of 300,000 won will be provided at 60,000 won per month for 5 months.
