Seocho-gu Resumes Training Program for Grandchild Caregivers

Conducted Online Education (10 hours) and Small Group In-Person Training (4 hours) from the Existing Group Positive Training Course

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Cho) has sequentially resumed the grandchild caregiver training, which had been suspended since February due to COVID-19, starting from the 17th.

The "Seocho-gu Grandchild Caregiver Support Project" is a representative specialized project of Seocho-gu initiated to recognize the increasing value of grandparent childcare activities and provide assistance.

Grandparents can receive free childcare education while taking care of their grandchildren and even receive allowances, resulting in very high satisfaction.

The resumed grandchild caregiver training has been changed from the existing 25-hour in-person group training to 10 hours of non-face-to-face online education and 4 hours of small-group in-person training. There are a total of 10 subjects, among which the 5 subjects requiring practical training?▲Baby Massage ▲Emergency First Aid ▲Paper Folding ▲Early Childhood Music ▲Storytelling?are conducted as small-group in-person training with 20 students per class.

In particular, for the safety of grandparents during in-person training, a "facial recognition thermal imaging camera" has been installed at the classroom entrance to measure body temperature and check mask-wearing status using AI technology.

This method allows for easier and faster measurement compared to the existing non-contact thermometer method.

Additionally, individual partitions have been installed at designated seats to ensure a safe and comfortable learning environment.

Grandmother Kim ○○ from Yangjae-dong, who attended the grandchild caregiver training, said, "After taking subjects such as emergency first aid and baby massage online and then practicing them directly, I was able to learn effectively. Also, being able to take lectures anytime online enhances the educational effect."

Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Cho stated, "We have resumed the grandchild caregiver training, which was postponed due to COVID-19, and will strive to ensure that the elderly can attend the training with peace of mind through thorough quarantine systems."
