'NHN Academy' Opens in Gimhae, Gyeongnam to "Foster SW Talent"

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] NHN announced on the 7th that it will establish a specialized educational institution, 'NHN Academy,' in Gimhae, Gyeongnam, to nurture software (SW) talent.

NHN Academy will conduct training programs in SW development and planning targeting local youth. Outstanding trainees will be given opportunities to be employed in the local SW industry.

NHN Academy will first run a training program to cultivate experts in web service development. Developers from the all-in-one collaboration solution company 'NHN Dooray!' will directly participate in designing the curriculum and conduct 28 weeks of training in the 'Web Service Development Boot Camp.' Outstanding trainees will be offered opportunities to work as SW development experts at NHN SOFT (Gyeongnam region).

NHN Academy will take its first step into the SW education market by starting the first term of web service developer training for about seven months from March. Starting with the Gyeongnam center, other regional hub centers such as Jeonnam Gwangju, where an AI (artificial intelligence) data center will be jointly established, are also planned to open sequentially.

Kim Jae-woo, head of NHN Academy, said, "Our goal is to intensively nurture professional software personnel to richly support the software industry ecosystem, and based on NHN's technical know-how, we plan to provide practical and systematic education to many young people."
