Education from May 3 to June 8 for 25 days, 100 hours (4 hours online, 96 hours in-person) ▲ Necessity of computational thinking ▲ Programming languages (block coding, text coding) ▲ Introduction to AI robot IJINI usage

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] As the industrial paradigm shifts due to the 4th Industrial Revolution, jobs are rapidly disappearing. It is a crucial time to cultivate talented individuals capable of responding to these changes.

Yongsan-gu (Mayor Seong Jang-hyun) is offering a free "AI Code Technology-Based Coding Instructor Training Course" as part of the district's public-private partnership job project funded by the district's job fund.

The project is being carried out by Seoul Jungbu Technical Education Center (Director Kim Jong-won).

The training will be conducted over 25 days from May 3 to June 8, totaling 100 hours (4 hours online, 96 hours in-person), covering topics such as the necessity of computational thinking, programming languages (block coding, text coding), and how to use the AI robot IJINI.

Residents interested in enrolling can apply through the education center's website by the 19th. On-site applications at the education center are also accepted. Related forms are posted in the course information section on the education center's website.

The class size is limited to 20 students, who will be selected through document screening and interviews. Priority will be given to women with career interruptions and middle-aged individuals.

Employment support will also be provided to trainees. They will be matched with related companies that have actual job openings, and personal counseling will continue after employment to help them adapt to their tasks.

An official from the education center stated, "We are training professional instructors who can handle creative and convergent software education," adding, "Employment opportunities will be available in various fields such as AI code production, distribution, promotion, and planning."

Jungbu Technical Education Center is located at 136 Hannam-daero, Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu. Since its establishment in 1957, it has been conducting various vocational training programs aimed at nurturing global technical talent.

Last August, the district signed a "Memorandum of Understanding for Job Creation for Residents" with Jungbu Technical Education Center and has been collaborating since then.

Seong Jang-hyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, "The district is making great efforts to discover quality jobs suitable for the changing times," and added, "We look forward to the active interest and participation of residents in the AI coding instructor training course."
