Naju-si, Lifelong Learning Courses Tailored for Office Workers Receive 'Positive Response'

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Customized lifelong learning courses for office workers after work conducted by Naju City, Jeollanam-do, are gaining positive responses.

The city announced on the 16th that it is promoting lifelong learning titled ‘Office Workers! A Special Meeting After Work’ to support various leisure activities of public institution employees in the innovation city and local office workers.

The lifelong learning program for office workers was prepared as part of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s innovation city-linked win-win development expansion project.

The schedule and subjects of the courses were selected based on the results of a preference survey for desired courses conducted through a prior online questionnaire, and classes are held after work on weekdays in the evening and on weekend mornings at places such as personal workshops and Bitgaram Municipal Library.

In the first program held last month, 10 courses including ‘Leather Wallet Making,’ ‘Wood Drawing Frame,’ ‘Soy Candle,’ ‘Flower Wreath,’ and ‘Character Plate Making’ were operated for 96 office workers, receiving enthusiastic responses.

The second program plans to operate 8 courses such as ‘Yoga,’ ‘Acrylic Painting,’ ‘Flower Arrangement,’ and ‘Macrame’ for about 100 office workers from the 20th of this month to the 15th of next month.

An official from Naju City stated, “Lifelong learning after work not only helps office workers relieve daily stress but also greatly contributes to the win-win development with small businesses such as personal workshops,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to create a lifelong learning culture where all citizens can enjoy the joy of learning.”
