The curriculum is technology-focused, reflecting the qualifications, job roles, and technical requirements of the recruited personnel. As cloud technology is essential across industries such as finance, construction, manufacturing, IT, and gaming?where technology development and platform utilization rely heavily on vast data?artificial intelligence (AI) technology is also gaining attention as a core area of the 4th Industrial Revolution, being applied in various fields such as autonomous driving, voice recognition, market forecasting, and office and process automation.
The training program is centered on practical technical education that can be immediately applied in the industrial field, with all courses conducted through unit projects and industry practice projects, ensuring excellent learning outcomes. Project deliverables are produced as digital convergence portfolios, which can be used as objective indicators of individual capabilities during practical interviews. Upon completion of the program, various employment support programs, including recommended hiring, are provided.
The recruitment quota is 25 trainees each for the artificial intelligence (776 hours) and cloud computing (700 hours) fields.
