Eodream School is a startup artificial intelligence (AI) talent development project that educates and trains young developers to support employment and entrepreneurship for ventures and startups experiencing a shortage of AI developers.

The 3rd class of Eodream School enrolled in March last year and completed a 10-month curriculum including theory and practical projects by December.

Notably, through practical projects, participants won 4 silver medals and 3 bronze medals in three competitions on ‘Kaggle,’ a global AI competition platform operated by Google. Additionally, one team composed of five students won the grand prize at the ‘Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock, and Food Public and Big Data Utilization Startup Competition,’ and a total of 18 students won awards in seven domestic and international AI competitions.

Visible achievements were also made in employment and entrepreneurship. Among the 144 students who completed the 3rd class curriculum, 31 were employed by ventures and startups they wished to join during the course. Three teams, each consisting of seven students, are preparing to start businesses.

Jo Han-gyo, Director of Human Resources Development at SBC, said, “Eodream School nurtures young talents with practical field skills through long-term intensive practical education,” adding, “SBC will continue to lead efforts to resolve the recruitment difficulties of ventures and startups in the AI field and promote innovative entrepreneurship.”
