[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 17th that since the 19th of last month, it has been operating the "Artificial Intelligence Industry Employment Competency Enhancement Project" for 80 second-year students in the commercial track of vocational high schools, divided into four sessions by the Mokpo, Yeosu, Naju, and Suncheon regions.

This project was prepared to provide opportunities to acquire basic knowledge and skills about artificial intelligence and to strengthen employment competencies in the AI industry through practical training.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Office of Education divided the participants into four nearby school regions and is conducting a 5-day course (30 hours) during the summer vacation period.

Experts from on-site companies are directly providing both theoretical and practical guidance on topics such as "The 4th Industrial Revolution and Artificial Intelligence," "Hands-on Experience Using AI Kits," and "Employment and Start-up Consulting in the AI Industry."

A student participating in the project said, "I was able to understand the digital environmental changes brought by the 4th Industrial Revolution era, and through the consulting, it became a valuable opportunity to prepare for employment in the AI industry."

Ko Gwang-jin, Director of the Future Talent Division, said, "Through this project education, I hope students develop employment competencies, succeed in jobs related to their AI interests, and grow into creative and convergent talents in artificial intelligence for the future."

Meanwhile, the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education has been promoting the Artificial Intelligence Industry Employment Competency Enhancement Project for two years since last year, supported by the Jeonnam Future Education Foundation.
