Yongsan-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Park Hee-young) will operate the "2024 Yongsan-gu Women's Classroom" at the Women's Plaza starting in March.

Applications can be made from the 28th of this month until the 6th of next month through the Yongsan-gu Education Comprehensive Portal on a first-come, first-served basis.

The district planned this program to provide education related to employment and entrepreneurship to enhance women's welfare through skill development and to expand opportunities for economic participation. Participants can learn professional knowledge and skills ranging from various hobbies to connections with employment and entrepreneurship.

The technical and certification courses include a total of nine classes: Korean Dessert Gifts, Confectionery Certification, Korean Cuisine Chef Certification, Pet Clothing Production, Daily Hanbok, Hairdressing Practice, Clothing Making (Beginner and Intermediate), and Organization and Storage Certification. Some of these technical and certification courses allow participants to obtain certifications through exams after completing the education.

Liberal arts and hobby courses include three classes: Paintings Filled with Wishes, Minhwa (Korean folk painting), and Quilting & French Embroidery, and Daily English.

Additionally, for those who find it difficult to spend time on hobbies, one-day classes (such as cooking and art) are also prepared to allow new hobby experiences.

Notably, this year's Women's Classroom has expanded participation to all residents, not limiting applicants to women only. Anyone aged 18 or older residing in Yongsan-gu can participate.

Each person can apply for up to two courses, and the same course can be taken up to two times. Tuition is free, but material costs are borne separately. Detailed information can be found on the Yongsan-gu Education Comprehensive Portal.

The education venue is the Yongsan-gu Women's Plaza located on the 3rd floor of the Hannam-dong Public Parking Lot and Complex Cultural Center (224-19 Itaewon-ro).

Park Hee-young, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, stated, "We have created opportunities for economic participation by developing the potential of women with career interruptions," and added, "Especially this year, as we operate various courses including practical advanced classes and one-day classes, we expect more residents to participate."
