The National Sports Promotion Agency will recruit organizations to join the 2026 Sports Personality's Vocational Stability Project, which is promoted by the National Sports Promotion Agency to support retired sportsmen's stable entry into society and smooth career transition.

The Korea Sports Corporation plans to support retired (scheduled) athletes to gain practical experience and seek new careers at various sites through recruiting institutions to participate in the "domestic leader training" and "internship" programs.

The "Domestic Leader Training" program is a project that provides practical training opportunities for retired (planned) athletes to grow into leaders in the sports field.

It will recruit around 40 sports-related institutions that wish to hire leaders, including school and workplace sports departments, sports clubs, professional clubs, and physical education institutions. Selected institutions can receive subsidies of 2.4 million won per person per month for up to eight months from May to January next year, and up to three people per institution can apply.

The "Internship" program is a project that supports retired (planned) athletes to gain job experience in various industries as well as sports, and will recruit around 40 organizations that want to hire interns among general private companies, including sports organizations and sports companies. The selected institution will receive 2.4 million won per month for an intern for a basic six months from June to November, and an additional two months of support will be provided as an incentive when an intern is converted to a full-time position.

Institutions wishing to participate can apply by email by 18:00 on the 30th, and details such as how to apply can be found on the Sports Corporation website and the "Sportsman Welfare Support Portal."
