Koscom Supports Education to Foster IT Talents from Specialized High Schools

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Koscom is supporting IT education programs for students of specialized high schools who face increased difficulties in college admission and employment due to COVID-19.

On the 16th, Koscom announced that it delivered donations to specialized high schools near its business sites to help students acquire global IT certifications, web programming development skills, and video technology.

This support project targets students from Hanse Cyber Security High School (Mapo), Hangang Media High School (Yeongdeungpo), and Seoul Finance High School (Yangcheon), with a total of about 80 students receiving IT education support.

In addition, Koscom has been supporting IT education programs for the past three years to help North Korean defector youths attending Hankkum School settle into society, thereby fostering young IT talents.

Furthermore, Koscom delivered donations together with the Disabled Enterprise Comprehensive Support Center Foundation to create jobs for people with disabilities who are facing dual hardships due to disability and COVID-19.

The donations will be used to nurture disabled creators and support the spread of one-person media content to promote correct awareness of disabilities.

President Jeong Ji-seok said, "As COVID-19 prolongs, socially vulnerable groups are experiencing double difficulties. I hope we can expand the scope of support suitable to Koscom’s characteristics so that students with potential and people with disabilities can have opportunities to realize their dreams."
