Guro-gu (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) will continue to support up to 90% of tuition fees for employees of companies located in Guro-gu who apply for the master's and doctoral programs in the AI Techno Convergence Department at Soongsil University next year.

As part of the 8th term public pledge, "Fostering G-Valley Southwest University-linked Industry-Academia R&D Hub," the district supports workers employed at mid-sized and small-to-medium enterprises in Guro-gu who apply for the master's and doctoral programs in the AI Convergence Techno Department at Soongsil University, providing up to 10 million KRW per person annually for tuition fees.

The program focuses on educating employees with high field understanding in areas such as artificial intelligence, video recognition, smart factory convergence, and game convergence, aiming to intensively cultivate research personnel for AI-based innovative industries.

Since the 2023 academic year, currently eight Guro-gu scholarship students are enrolled in the master's and doctoral programs of the AI Techno Convergence Department at Soongsil University.

Classes are held on weekday evenings and Saturdays to accommodate working professionals and operate as a two-year program.

During enrollment, students participate in joint corporate technology research and short-term overseas training in Silicon Valley, USA, providing the advantage of exchanging diverse information through a solid human network.

Meanwhile, an information session will be held on November 7 at 7 p.m. in the Creative Hall on the 3rd floor of the district office main building.

At this session, researchers from the Soongsil University AI Techno Convergence Research Institute will explain the recruitment guidelines and matters related to joint corporate technology research conducted collaboratively by full-time researchers and employees.

Those wishing to attend the information session can pre-register by November 3 via the QR code on the promotional poster, and detailed information is available on the Guro-gu website.

The district will accept applications from November 13 to 27, conduct evaluations, and announce the selected candidates in early December.
