87% of the 1st Cohort Employed at Woowa Brothers and Leading Korean IT Companies, Serving as a 'Gateway for Developers'
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Woowa Brothers, the operator of Baedal Minjok (CEO Kim Beom-jun), announced on the 21st that it will begin recruiting for the 3rd cohort of its free training program for developers, 'Woowa Tech Course.'
'Woowa Tech Course' is an educational program launched last year to address the shortage of developers in the IT industry and to cultivate excellent developers needed across the industry. Woowa Brothers focused on the significant gap between practical skills expected in the field and programming knowledge taught at educational institutions such as universities, and designed the program to equip participants with practical development skills that enable them to work immediately in companies. The curriculum includes step-by-step programming missions as well as writing and presentations to develop communication skills necessary in the workplace.
In fact, the first cohort held last year attracted about 1,000 applicants, with 52 finally selected, of whom 45 completed the training. Among the graduates, 23 joined Woowa Brothers and 15 were hired as entry-level developers at leading IT companies such as Naver and Kakao, achieving an employment rate of 87%. Currently, the second cohort of Woowa Tech Course is underway with a total of 49 trainees participating in the program.
