Nine Consortiums Selected as Educational Institutions
10-to-1 Competition Rate

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency announced on May 14 that they have selected nine consortiums as educational institutions for the "AI-Specialized Content Creator Training Support Project" and have begun recruiting trainees. The initiative aims to foster 900 professionals specializing in AI-based content creation.

A total of 90 consortiums competed in the public call, resulting in a 10-to-1 competition rate. Selected organizations include the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Chung-Ang University (SoilabX), Korea Productivity Center (Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Hongik University), and MBC C&I (Goyang Industry Promotion Agency), among others.

Trainee recruitment will proceed sequentially starting this month. The program targets professionals currently working in content planning, production, and distribution, as well as job seekers, entrepreneurs, and university students preparing for employment or starting a business. There will also be specialized courses for professionals with more than 10 years of experience.

The curriculum is structured around hands-on AI application exercises and project-based training in each field. The primary focus is on strengthening practical skills that can be directly applied in the industry.

Yoo Hyun-seok, Acting President of the Korea Creative Content Agency, stated, "All selected consortiums are institutions with expertise and educational capabilities. We will systematically nurture key talent to lead the AI transformation of the K-Content industry."
