[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Woori Financial Group announced on the 28th that it held the graduation ceremony for the 2nd class of the Specialized High School Digital Talent Development Project.


To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the event invited three representative scholarship students from the 2nd class to receive their certificates. Attendees included Oh Ji-cheol, Chairman of the Heart Heart Foundation, Kim Sang-gyun, Secretary General of the Community Chest of Korea, and Choi Dong-su, Vice President of Woori Financial Group.


In addition to the certificate awarding ceremony, the event featured a special lecture by a graduate from the 1st class and online mentoring sessions between mentors from Woori FIS, Woori Financial Group’s IT specialized subsidiary, and the mentees, creating a meaningful time of interaction.


The Specialized High School Digital Talent Development Project is a program that provides customized education to students of specialized high schools nationwide who face difficulties in acquiring digital and IT skills and career development due to high private education costs. It is a representative social contribution program by Woori Financial that has been continuously conducted since 2019 to nurture future generations.


After selecting 130 specialized high school students nationwide last October, the program supported online course vouchers on various digital and IT topics tailored to individual career paths and conducted three online mentoring sessions with employees of Woori FIS.



A Woori Financial Group official stated, "We hope that the scholarship students who completed the graduation ceremony will grow into future IT experts and create a virtuous cycle of educational sharing by becoming mentors for their juniors."
