Comprehensive Guide to Basic Usage Methods of the National Employment Support Card<\/h2>\n

Once you have been issued the National Employment Support Card, it is time to find the training you need, take courses, and reap the benefits in earnest. We will step-by-step organize the core stages of how the card should be utilized in real life and learning processes.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Training Course Exploration and Course Application Procedure<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To take courses with the National Employment Support Card, you must first find the course that suits you and officially complete your application.
    \nAccess and search Employment 24 (HRD-Net): Log in to the official website or mobile app Employment 24 (HRD-Net), and search for training courses by job category or keywords of interest (e.g., Computer Literacy, Computerized Accounting, etc.).
    \nCheck training course details: Carefully check not only the training schedule and hours, but also the training cost, self-burden amount, and attendance rate conditions.
    \nProceed with course application: Click the course application button online to proceed. Depending on the course, consultation with the jurisdiction Employment Center or submission of additional documents may be required, so it is recommended to set your schedule with plenty of time.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Training Cost Payment and Self-Burden Payment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Once your course application is approved, you will pay the training fee and begin full-scale class preparation.
      \nPayment of self-burden: Within the basic support limit of the National Employment Support Card, part or all of the training cost is supported, but a partial self-burden occurs depending on the individual’s income level and job category. You must pay the self-burden within the designated deadline through the issued affiliated card (Shinhan or Nonghyup) to complete final course registration.
      \nPrecautions: You must be careful because course application may be automatically canceled if you do not pay the self-burden within the payment deadline.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Attendance Management and Training Allowance Payment Conditions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        You must familiarize yourself with the attendance and allowance system so that you can be rewarded as much as you study hard.
        \nThorough electronic attendance: When entering and leaving the training institution, you must check attendance using the designated method (such as the QR code of the Employment 24 app, fingerprint recognition, etc.). Omitted attendance can be treated as an absence, requiring special attention.
        \nTraining allowance payment conditions:
        \nIf the attendance rate for the entire training days is 80% or more and specific requirements are met (excluding short-term courses, participants in the National Employment Support System, etc.), training allowances are supported.
        \nSince it is paid in proportion to the number of attendance days, it is important to manage lateness, early leaving, and going out so as not to suffer disadvantages.
        \nThe National Employment Support Card becomes a reliable self-development partner if you simply practice proper usage methods and attendance management well. In the next section, we will continue by learning about precautions that may occur during card usage and coping methods for the heart-stopping loss situation.<\/p>\n

        Important Precautions to Keep in Mind When Using the Card<\/h2>\n

        Since the National Employment Support Card is a useful system in which the government supports training costs, you must strictly observe established regulations and rules. We have summarized the precautions to keep in mind when using the card that are easy to overlook unintentionally.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Thorough Electronic Attendance Management and Beware of Fraudulent Attendance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Basics of attendance check: At the start and end of class, you must normally complete attendance processing through the QR code of the Employment 24 app or a designated attendance terminal (such as fingerprint recognition).
          \nStrict prohibition of fraudulent attendance: If attendance is processed through fraudulent methods such as proxy attendance, omission of lateness and early leaving, you may receive strong disciplinary measures such as recovery of support funds and suspension of account use (card suspension), so special attention is required.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Familiarize Yourself with Support Limit Deduction Criteria<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Disadvantages of dropping out midway and failure to complete: If you drop out of training midway without justifiable reasons or are treated as failing to complete due to a shortfall in attendance rate, the support limit amount of your account is deducted.
            \nFrequency restriction: If expulsion or failure to complete accumulates, you may be restricted from newly issuing or supporting the National Employment Support Card for a certain period in the future, so you must carefully apply for courses considering your own schedule and physical condition.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Check Card Validity Period and Usage Deadline<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Validity period check: The issued National Employment Support Card has a validity period written on the surface of the card. Naturally, payment is impossible once the validity period passes, so if you plan to use it for a long time, you should check whether to renew it before the period expires.
              \nExtinction of support funds: If you do not use all support funds within the given validity period, the remaining balance automatically disappears, so it is wise to check the usage deadline of support funds in advance when establishing a training plan.<\/p>\n

              \nContact affiliated card company customer center: The National Employment Support Card is issued through designated affiliated card companies (Shinhan Card or Nonghyup Card). Call the 24-hour customer center of each card company to report the card loss and register for temporary suspension.
              \nUtilize mobile apps: You can also instantly and conveniently suspend it through the loss report menu of each card company’s official app (Shinhan Play\/SOL Pay, NH Nonghyup Card, etc.).
              \nStep 2: Proceed with card reissuance application procedure
              \nOnce you have finished suspending usage, proceed with the procedure to receive a new card.
              \nApplication method: You can apply for reissuance by visiting the affiliated card company’s customer center, official website, mobile app, or nearby card company branch.
              \nIssuance duration: It usually takes about 3 to 7 business days, and the physical card is delivered to your home or designated address.
              \nStep 3: Coping method if currently taking a course during the reissuance period
              \nWhat should you do if you happen to be taking a training class while the card is being delivered?
              \nNotify training institution and employment center: As soon as you apply for card reissuance, it is safe to notify the administrative person in charge at the training institution you are currently attending in advance that your card is lost and being reissued.
              \nCaution in attendance management: Even if you do not have a physical card, you can often use the QR code attendance function of the Employment 24 mobile app normally, but if there is a situation requiring card payment or an exceptional attendance processing case, you should take action according to the institution’s guidance.
              \nIf you only have thorough preparation and prompt loss reporting, you can wisely overcome even embarrassing situations. In the next final section, we will neatly summarize the entire content.<\/p>\n
