[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Seoul Women’s University is operating a data specialist training program for young people, including job seekers.

On the 17th, Seoul Women’s University announced that it had been selected as an operating institution for the 2021 Data Youth Campus organized by the Korea Data Industry Promotion Agency. The “Data Youth Talent Development” project, hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and organized by the Korea Data Industry Promotion Agency, has been providing practical data specialist education to unemployed youth such as soon-to-be graduates since 2017.

Seoul Women’s University is participating in the “Industry Customized Data Specialist Training Program” to cultivate industry-customized data specialists who can be immediately deployed. It is composed of theory, practice, and projects targeting university students majoring in data-related fields (3rd to 4th year) and non-majors with equivalent levels. The curriculum is divided into the “Data Scientist” track and the “Data Engineer” track. Trainees receive basic education through mathematics and programming lectures, conduct industry-academia projects with companies, and receive industry-specific specialized education before project execution.

Information on the “Industry Customized Data Specialist Training Program” curriculum and courses can be found on the Data On Air website. Applications are open until June 13.

Choi Yerim, professor of the Department of Data Science at Seoul Women’s University and the overall director, said, “As data utilization becomes more active, the differences in required skills and knowledge by industry are increasing, making it essential to cultivate advanced data personnel with expertise in each industry. We hope that Seoul Women’s University’s industry-customized education will meet the needs of both companies and students.”
