Kia Recruiting Participants for Youth Career Education Classes Until the 19th

Kia announced on the 10th that it is recruiting participants for its youth career education class until the 19th of this month.

Kia's youth career education social contribution program, 'Kia Inspiring Class - Future Tech Career Exploration,' is now in its second year. It is an educational program designed to help young people learn through conceptual education and practical training in future tech fields.

The upcoming Future Tech classes offer six subjects to choose from: ▲Metaverse ▲AI ▲Drone ▲3D Printing ▲Quantum Computing ▲Arduino. The education conducted at selected schools includes basic knowledge education, practical training, and related career and job exploration for each subject.

This class will prioritize students from rural and island/mountainous areas to address the social issue of career education inequality among students in provincial regions.

Last year, when access to the 4th industrial revolution fields was difficult due to COVID-19, the Future Tech program that visited rural and island/mountainous areas directly received high satisfaction. Last year, 489 schools applied for 30 classes, and about 700 students participated in the lessons.

One participant said, "I was able to easily understand Future Tech, which I thought was a difficult field, through fun explanations," and added, "I want to study Quantum Computing in depth through this program."

A Kia official said, "This year, we have created opportunities to conduct Future Tech classes for more students," and added, "We will continue to prepare programs so that young people can receive diverse educational opportunities."

Meanwhile, Kia operates various programs with a mid- to long-term perspective on youth independence, such as 'Jinro Saem,' 'Youth Bus,' and 'Pangyo Technovalley Career Tour.' This program is conducted in partnership with the nonprofit organization 'Dream Connect' and recruits 1,400 students from 60 middle school classes nationwide. Applications are open from the 10th to the 19th of this month. After screening, on-site educational training will be conducted from May to September.
