<Anchor> It is

Kwon Aeri's friendly economic time. Reporter Kwon, let's build up our skills when it's difficult these days.

Yes. Have you ever heard of the National Tomorrow Learning Card? It's a lot of people who already know, but if you keep listening to it, there will be many people who will say, "Uh, this is a little different from what I knew."

Support has increased since this year. In particular, after Corona 19, there have been areas and people who have applied more intensively for the time being.

The National Tomorrow Learning Card is a system in which the country provides support for tutoring expenses. However, it is not a tutor for students, but a tutor for office workers.

We support vocational training and reemployment training for unemployed workers who are thinking about the future or who want to improve their capabilities.

Although it is a system that has been in operation for more than 10 years since 2008, there have been several major improvements since this year. Once the cards for the incumbent and the unemployed were separated, they were merged into one.

Even if you have a job, you can be unemployed and then you can get a job. This is an improvement in what has been pointed out as uncomfortable for those who use it to separate them according to their current status.

And with this card, the validity period for studying with the support of the country was 1 year for unemployed people and 3 years for incumbent employees. Now everyone can use all that they received for education expenses within 5 years.

The amount of money provided by the country has also increased significantly over the past five years, usually receiving 3 million won and up to 5 million won depending on people with more circumstances.

Who can get support?

<Reporter> In

principle, anyone can do it. First, the employee must make more than 3 million won per month. The income standards that freelancers and specialty workers can receive are the same.

In addition, there is a condition that workers in large corporations can receive support only if they are 45 or older.

Self-employed persons can receive support if their annual sales do not exceed 150 million won. Not for students, but also for prospective graduates and fresh graduates.

Conversely, those who are already receiving a living allowance from the country are not eligible. In recent years, support has expanded, especially for those who have been hit by the corona crisis.

There are 8 types of corona special employment support industries. The industries classified as particularly damaged by corona, such as the travel industry, tourism and lodging industry, and the performance industry.


These people donated 4 million won by adding 1 million won more than others. The ratio of education expenses to be paid has been reduced to no more than 20%.

Originally, among those eligible for support, the more they feel better, the more they may have to pay up to 55% of their vocational training expenses.

And now it supports unpaid leave. I told you that if you go to a large company, you will not be able to apply for support under the age of 45. Those who are currently on unpaid leave can apply for this National Tomorrow Learning Card.

We can't be foreigners, but Koreans who attend foreign companies can apply.

Then, kindly explain how to apply and how to use.

Yes. You can also go to the nearest employment center for consultation or apply online alone. You can access the job training portal HRD-Net, which is also available as a subtitle, and check and apply.

The country pays for tutoring, but it's not just a way to learn from anywhere. There are subjects that can be studied like university courses, but this year there are more than 14,000 subjects that can be learned.

There are a variety of vocational trainings, such as how to use Excel or PowerPoint, which you learn a lot while preparing for employment, and how to become a barista.

In particular, many advanced technology related subjects such as artificial intelligence and big data analysis have been opened this year. You can go to a designated academy, or you can only take a cyber lecture or choose. All you have to do is finish your studies with all the money you received within 5 years.

However, if you go to an academy and study, you may have to give some money back if you don't attend too much. It would be good to learn well and study hard to help you plan your future.
