Additionally, a special lecture was given by the representative of a company partnered in this project.

Starting with this briefing session, the project group will select second- and third-year high school students to participate in the project and conduct special after-school courses, support for certification acquisition, and industrial site visits and training.

Furthermore, these students will be able to enter Yeungjin College's Department of Computer Information, complete the first-year common curriculum, and then strengthen their capabilities in one of three tracks during their second and third years: 'System Administrator Track,' 'System Software Developer Track,' and 'IT Convergence Content Track,' with employment opportunities also linked.

Students participating in the project will receive full support for all courses operated by the project group. Benefits include a training support fund of 1 million KRW upon admission to Yeungjin College, an incentive of 1 million KRW for obtaining an industrial engineer certification after enrollment, a 500,000 KRW incentive for participating students, and priority selection for the Hope Ladder Scholarship for colleges (full tuition + 2 million KRW per semester).
