[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.



Recruitment for the 3rd cohort will be open from 3 PM on the 23rd until 10 AM on the 4th of next month, and anyone with basic knowledge and experience in programming can apply. The program is divided into 'Web Backend' and 'Web Frontend' courses, with approximately 50 and 25 participants to be finally selected, respectively. Park Jae-sung, who leads Woowa Tech Course, a director at Woowa Brothers, said, "Woowa Tech Course has established itself as a gateway supplying excellent developers to the domestic IT sector," adding, "We will continue to improve the curriculum so that participants can grow into software artisans and create better services and a better world."
