[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Baedal Minjok (hereinafter Baemin) has embarked on nurturing adolescent developers. Woowa Brothers, the operator of Baemin (CEO Kim Beom-jun), announced on the 9th that it has signed a 'Business Agreement for IT Industry Talent Development' with seven high schools specialized in IT education.

This agreement is part of an industry-academia cooperation to support high school students aspiring to become IT developers in acquiring the development skills required in the field and to provide various experiences helpful for future employment in domestic and international IT companies. The participating high schools include three IT-specialized schools?Sunrin Internet High School, Mirim Girls' Information Science High School, Gyeongnam Information High School?and four Software Meister High Schools (Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, Daedeok), totaling seven schools.

Through this agreement, Woowa Brothers will conduct a recruitment-linked internship during this summer vacation for selected students from the participating high schools. The internship curriculum is designed as an educational program reflecting projects actually conducted by Woowa Brothers' current developers.

The internship will provide education covering both 'Front-End' development, related to implementing the operation of web design visible to users, and 'Back-End' development knowledge responsible for managing and optimizing databases, servers, and more. Additionally, students who complete the eight-week internship will be given the opportunity to join Woowa Brothers.

Furthermore, a mentoring program will be operated where developers who graduated from the participating schools and joined Woowa Brothers will directly counsel students on career concerns to help improve their learning abilities and growth. Alongside this, various programs such as mock interviews and IT company briefings will be implemented to assist practical employment activities.

Kim Beom-jun, CEO of Woowa Brothers, said, "We expect that students equipped with the qualities of IT programmers will be able to develop field-customized development capabilities by experiencing project work and learning."
