· Training cost support: 3 million KRW over 5 years + additional 2 million KRW support

The card is valid for 5 years. After 5 years, all remaining balance will disappear, so if you need training after that, you must reissue the card.

1) Training costs (= tuition fees) The amount you can use when applying for education/training on the Employment24 website is 3 million KRW.

When paying tuition with the National Tomorrow Learning Card, you typically need to pay 15-55% yourself. People who need special protection, such as low-income individuals, disabled persons, and single-parent families, may have no personal burden or a very low burden.

Additionally, when receiving training related to national strategic industries, advanced industries, etc., even if the actual training cost exceeds 3 million KRW, full support is provided without personal burden, limited to once.
