To enhance digital literacy among young people, the Youth Center operated the ITQ Excel certification class a total of 30 times from June to August. By inviting a professional instructor, the program offered a step-by-step, work-focused curriculum covering basic functions and formatting, data analysis, and chart creation. The training included hands-on practice and mock exams in a systematic manner. As a result, every participant achieved the remarkable feat of passing the certification exam.

The participating youth shared their thoughts, saying, "I was glad to have the opportunity to earn a computer certification, and I am happy that I could obtain it during summer vacation. I hope programs like this will continue to be offered in the future."

The ITQ (Internet Technology Qualification) certificate is a nationally accredited qualification administered by the Korea Productivity Center. It can be listed on school records and job resumes, providing practical support for strengthening youth career competencies. In particular, the Excel subject evaluates practical skills such as data management and statistical processing, making it highly applicable in both public institutions and private companies, and offering real competitiveness to young people.

In addition to this program, the Youth Center operates a variety of educational and experiential programs, such as special lectures on library science and floristry careers, and AI picture books. Next year, the center plans to further support the digital skills of young people by gradually expanding courses on additional ITQ subjects such as Hangul and PowerPoint, as well as topics in artificial intelligence (AI) and programming basics related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Park Insook, Director of Lifelong Education, stated, "We will continue to expand a variety of courses, including nationally accredited certification programs that support the future of youth, as well as classes in IT, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and culture and the arts. We are committed to actively supporting local youth so they can respond proactively to a changing society."
