SK Broadband Holds 'Audition' for Talent Development with Anyang City

Talent Scholarship Student Discovery Business Agreement Signed

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] SK Broadband is nurturing local talented individuals in collaboration with local governments.

SK Broadband announced on the 13th that it has signed a business agreement with the Anyang City Talent Development Foundation to select and nurture outstanding students.

Through this agreement, the Anyang City Talent Development Foundation, a public institution funded by Anyang City, will select talent scholarship students through an open audition using media. Previously, only winners of various competitions were eligible, but the selection method has been changed to reflect the purpose of the scholarship program and to provide opportunities to more students.

SK Broadband will participate as the broadcasting company hosting the audition to revitalize the local government's excellent talent development program. SK Broadband ABC Broadcasting (Anyang City broadcasting area) plans to produce a teaser video for the newly changed talent scholarship selection (ATA) and broadcast it on Our Neighborhood B tv Channel 1 starting in October. To increase local residents' interest and empathy, the talent scholarship selection process, including practical auditions, participant interviews and support videos, and congratulatory performances, will be produced as a TV program and aired in December.

Applications are open to students enrolled in elementary, middle, high schools, or universities located in Anyang City, or citizens under 24 years old residing in Anyang City. The application categories include humanities and social sciences, arts and physical education, mathematics and science, computer science, invention, and games. Applications will be accepted until October 22, and the first and second rounds of screening will be conducted by November 24. For some fields among the selected talent scholarship candidates, on-site audition evaluations will be held. The final successful candidates will be announced in early December.

The Anyang City Talent Development Foundation will award scholarships totaling approximately 300 million KRW to about 200 students who are finally selected. Detailed information such as how to apply can be found on the foundation’s website.

Ko Young-ho, Head of SK Broadband Cable Broadcasting Headquarters, said, “We are very honored to be able to cooperate in the growth and development of the local community by participating in the local government’s excellent talent development program,” and added, “By planning and broadcasting the scholarship selection audition process as a program that citizens can enjoy, we plan to provide a foundation where future talents can grow with the interest of the region.”
