Busan’s New Middle-Aged Generation
Designs a Second Act in Life
Through the “Well-being Brunch” Program

Gyeongnam Information University Lifelong Education Center, known as "the leading community college in Busan," held the graduation ceremony for the third cohort of the "50+ Life Redesign College" on November 20.

The "50+ Life Redesign College" program is a customized educational initiative operated by Busan Metropolitan City to support career development and retirement preparation for the new middle-aged generation aged 50 and above who are entering a new phase of life.

As part of this initiative, Gyeongnam Information University offered the "Well-being Brunch Specialist Training Course for a Restart," producing a total of 48 graduates.

The curriculum consisted of a systematic 100-hour program, including life redesign education, well-being brunch training, club activities, and employment and entrepreneurship education. Even after graduation, participants will continue to receive ongoing guidance through the lifelong advisory professor system.

In recognition of its tangible support for new challenges among Busan’s middle-aged population through this program, Gyeongnam Information University was recently selected as an "Outstanding Institution for Lifelong Education" by Busan Metropolitan City.

At the graduation ceremony, Vice President Joo Wonsik of the university delivered a special lecture titled "The Power to Think and Question in the AI Era: Creating the Future with Design Thinking," introducing the competencies and practical strategies needed in the age of artificial intelligence.

Cho Yoondeuk, Dean of the Lifelong Education Center at Gyeongnam Information University, stated, "This program provided practical support for Busan’s middle-aged and senior citizens preparing for a new transition," adding, "We will continue to offer diverse support so that the new middle-aged generation can actively participate in the local community."
