Venture Business Association Holds Demand-Oriented 'Joint Recruitment of SW Development Talent' Online

Venture and Startup Academy for Customized Software Talent Development

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Korea Venture Business Association (Chairman Kang Samgwon) announced on the 7th that it will hold the 'Software (SW) Developer Joint Recruitment Festival' as an online non-face-to-face event on the 13th.

This event is conducted as a talent matching event for the newly launched 'Venture·Startup Academy' to solve the shortage of SW developers in ventures and startups. It is hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and jointly organized by the Korea Venture Business Association and six related SME and venture organizations.

The Venture·Startup Academy provides project-based learning (PBL) centered education reflecting corporate demand to nurture SW personnel. It is a recruitment-linked training course where the government supports training costs and wages for employment connection after completion. Educational institutions such as Multicampus, LikeLion, and Alice are responsible for training in full-stack, secure coding apps, etc., while the Korea Venture Business Association and Korea Startup Forum support employment connections with companies in need of recruitment.

Unlike typical corporate recruitment briefings, this event is conducted in a matching format that selects prospective hires before training begins and connects them with demand companies.

Companies attending the recruitment briefing include ▲Dream Security ▲Megazone Cloud ▲Intellian Technologies ▲Point Mobile ▲Caplix ▲Chabot Mobility, among others. Additionally, various programs and events such as a mentoring talk concert with developers from Microsoft, Megazone Cloud, and Solid Labs, and a metaverse recruitment promotion hall featuring 38 outstanding venture startups are planned.

Han Inbae, Head of Growth Support at the Korea Venture Business Association, said, “Taking the 'Venture Startup Academy' project, which simultaneously supports the training and recruitment connection of SW development professionals, as an opportunity, the association will actively take the lead in future software talent development projects.”
