The Small and Medium Business Corporation (Chairman Kang Seok-jin, hereinafter referred to as SBC) announced on the 12th that it has completed the graduation ceremony for the 'Born Global Seller Training Course,' an e-commerce practical online and offline training program for foreigners residing in Korea and others.


This seller training course was conducted over seven weeks at the Seoul e-Biz Support Center, combining on-site face-to-face classes and online live streaming. This project was introduced for the first time this year to train foreigners residing in Korea who are proficient in both Korean and local cultures as experts who match domestic small and medium enterprises with their home country’s online shopping malls to sell matched companies' products.
