In line with government policies, the Small and Medium Business Corporation aims to train 60,000 specialists in the smart manufacturing field by 2022. Starting from Ansan, Gyeonggi in 2017, it plans to establish Smart Factory Learning Centers in Jeonju, Jeonbuk, and Changwon, Gyeongnam this year, followed by Daegu and Cheonan, Chungnam in the future.

Lee Sangjik, Chairman of the Small and Medium Business Corporation, said, "We are making various efforts, including the Gunsan-type job project, to overcome the economic crisis in the Jeonbuk region, which has recently been stagnant," adding, "We will do our best to nurture future-oriented talents leading smart manufacturing innovation and create jobs through the Jeonju Smart Factory Learning Center."
