[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] On the 19th, the Korea National Mokpo University announced that it held the 2nd orientation event for the ‘2022 Small Business Digital Specialized University’ on the 17th at the Social Sciences Building of Mokpo University.

About 60 people, including small business owners, prospective entrepreneurs, and related personnel from the Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Jeju regions, attended the event.

At the orientation, Lee Seok-in, Director of the Digital Transformation Support Center (Dean of the College of Business Administration), emphasized the necessity of digital transformation education to strengthen the digital competitiveness of small business owners, then introduced the center and explained the direction of the education operation.

Next, Jang Gap-rok, CEO of Geo E & D, a collaborating institution, gave a presentation on support for sales practice in the design production field.

Finally, the trainees formed a total of 10 teams by pairing up in groups of 5 to 6 people, introducing their respective businesses, sharing their motivation for support, and expressing their hopes for the education.

Director Lee Seok-in said, “Despite it being the first meeting, active communication and a warm atmosphere continued thanks to the support of the supporters,” adding, “There was concern about recruiting trainees for the 2nd practical training, which was originally scheduled to start in October but was moved up due to the academic calendar. However, despite the short recruitment period, more people attended than in the 1st session, and seeing the passionate enthusiasm for the education made me proud. We will repay their expectations with even better education going forward.”

Meanwhile, the ‘2022 Small Business Digital Specialized University’ is a project operated by 10 universities nationwide, including Mokpo University, supported by the Small Enterprise and Market Service.

The Digital Transformation Support Center at Mokpo University plans to support online sales for small business owners through online store setup, product detail page and promotional video production, and digital marketing practical training for the 2nd batch of trainees until the end of this year, following the 1st batch of education that started in May. They also plan to visit traditional markets and small business owners located in the Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Jeju regions to support live broadcasting on-site.
