[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yong-chul] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 7th that it will conduct digital competency enhancement education for residents for three weeks from the 24th of this month to the 11th of next month in collaboration with Jeollanam-do.

This education program was organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT to prevent the deepening of social and economic disparities caused by the digital divide amid the rapid transition to a digital society due to COVID-19.

The program will be held for local residents, with six training centers set up in the county office, Boseong-eup, Beolgyo-eup, Wiwoomyeon, Ungchimyeon, and Hoecheonmyeon to improve accessibility for participants. The training hours will be divided into morning and afternoon sessions to allow participants to attend at their preferred time.

The main training content includes three areas: △ Digital Basics, △ Digital Intermediate, and △ Digital Life. The focus will be on digital life education, starting from simple text messaging to using useful lifestyle apps, operating unmanned ordering machines, and conducting banking tasks via smartphones.

Additionally, various tailored courses such as advanced Excel for employment, document creation, programming coding, and graphic design education will be provided.

In this regard, from the 12th to the 20th, professional and assistant instructors are being recruited for high school graduates, university graduates, and women with career interruptions in the ICT field residing in Jeollanam-do. Detailed qualification requirements can be found on the Boseong-gun website.

A county official said, “We have prepared an educational platform that embraces those who have hesitated to participate due to difficulties in education, those unfamiliar with computers and smartphones, as well as residents who want to learn specialized courses,” and added, “We hope many residents will participate in this beneficial digital competency enhancement education.”
