The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency (hereinafter referred to as KOCCA) are continuously recruiting participating companies for the 2026 Excellent Talent Linked Corporate Internship Support Project until November 6.

Look, let's be honest: this initiative is designed to lay the groundwork for field-oriented talent nurturing by connecting content companies with individuals who have completed KOCCA's talent training programs, ultimately leading to actual employment. This year, the project aims to support approximately 300 interns.

Specifically, the program targets graduates of KOCCA's talent training support projects, which include ▲ the Creative Talent Companion Project ▲ the New Content Academy (NCA) ▲ specialized training in content export, webtoons, and broadcasting/video content ▲ the Game Talent Academy ▲ EDUKOCCA ▲ and the region-based Content Korea Lab.

Participating companies can autonomously recruit and hire talent suited for their specific job roles to run their internships. Selected companies will receive a flat-rate subsidy of 1.08 million won per month for each intern for up to six months. Companies must pay at least the minimum wage and provide a working environment where interns can gain practical experience stably. The internship program runs until February 2027, and the project may end early if the budget is exhausted.

The evaluation comprehensively assesses understanding of the project, the internship operation plan, intern retention strategies, and post-project employment linkage plans. Agreements with selected companies and the disbursement of subsidies will also be handled on a rolling basis, allowing each company to flexibly manage internships lasting three months or longer.
