With the development of IT (Information Technology) and ICT (Information and Communication Technology), development jobs are emerging as promising careers for the future. Gangnam Izen Academy Computer Institute is launching a 'Full Stack Develop Comprehensive Course' as a government-funded free education program to nurture talents in web programming and mobile app programming.
'Full Stack Develop' refers to programming that integrates both the front-end area, which develops the user interface of websites and mobile applications, and the back-end area, which manages user databases on the server. Previously, front-end and back-end roles were separated, but recently, companies tend to hire 'Full Stack Developers' who understand both web and mobile characteristics to better reflect the service flow for users and administrators.
Gangnam Izen Academy Computer Institute focuses on teaching content and team-play-centered portfolio creation necessary for the industry, enabling students to quickly perform required tasks and grow into IT professionals.
First, the front-end course covers web, mobile, and applications (Application) that are visible to users, requiring fast network communication processing according to web standards. Starting with the web publisher area called coding, including ▷Html, CSS3, JQuery, and Javascript, students learn hard coding using Javascript frameworks such as React.js and Angular.js. Back-end development, which records user actions from the front-end as information and stores it on the server using database and network communication, covers ▷Java, Java Spring, Ajax, JSP, and Node.js.
Importantly, practical projects are repeated step-by-step to allow students to experience development tasks required in the field in advance. From the middle of the front-end and back-end classes, students plan and perfectly develop 5-person team projects or solo projects themselves, covering diverse content. They develop various bulletin boards, map API implementations using Google Map, GUI programming for various buttons embedded in mobile applications, membership registration, sales statistics, various search functions, and reservation systems, resulting in high-level portfolios such as music services, shopping malls, lodging, travel, and food delivery.
"Starting from basic web publishing and through continuous assignments, I can feel a sense of achievement, and the classes linking front-end and back-end areas allow me to learn development algorithms and practical processing skills together, which is very satisfying," said Um Tae-woo, a student at Izen Academy Computer Institute Gangnam Campus (Gangnam Station, Sinnonhyeon Station, Yongin, Pangyo, Suwon). Although a non-major, he takes great pride in the portfolio he developed himself.
Gangnam Izen Academy Computer Institute supports employment linkage through development portfolios and manages students to grow into IT professionals by continuously developing themselves as programmers to respond to rapidly changing IT technologies. They offer short-term skill-up special lectures on Python, Big Data R, TensorFlow, SQL Developer (SQLD: Structured Query Language Developer), Information Processing Engineer (Industrial Engineer), and Advanced Data Analytics Semi-Professional (ADsP) related to Big Data to enhance practical development skills. Additionally, through regular special lectures, senior developers participate as mentors who listen to and advise juniors on project difficulties. This is why high-quality IT portfolios are produced at Gangnam Izen Academy Computer Institute.
The 'Full Stack Develop Comprehensive Course' is a government-funded free education program that reduces tuition burdens. Gangnam Izen Academy Computer Institute offers 100% government funding for National Strategic Industry Training and Type 1 of the National Employment Support System (formerly Employment Success Package), and up to 85% government funding for Type 2 of the National Employment Support System and the National Tomorrow Learning Card (for job seekers and workers).
The National Employment Support System integrates the former Employment Success Package Type 2 and Youth Job-Seeking Activity Support Fund to provide comprehensive employment support services for vulnerable job seekers. Type 1 of the National Employment Support System supports up to 3 million KRW in job-seeking allowances, and Type 2 provides support for job activity expenses. Furthermore, all types of the National Employment Support System offer employment support services and employment success allowances up to 1.5 million KRW based on the duration of employment.
For employed and unemployed individuals, using the National Tomorrow Learning Card provides training costs support ranging from 3 million to 5 million KRW per person, and the card can be used for five years. To check government funding types and issue the National Tomorrow Learning Card, applicants can visit the HRD-Net website or the local employment support center.
Besides the 'Full Stack Develop Comprehensive Course,' Gangnam Izen Academy Computer Institute offers government-funded education in ▶ Java Android app development, Python, Big Data development and analysis (R), Java web & app UI·UX development, e-Government Standard Framework, C language (C++), front-end and back-end development, Internet of Things (IOT), TensorFlow ▷ Information Processing Engineer (Industrial Engineer), Advanced Data Analytics Semi-Professional (ADsP), Oracle Java certifications (OCJP, OCWCD, OCBCD), and network administrator courses.
Celebrating its 16th anniversary this year, Gangnam Izen Academy Computer Institute has won the Education Service Brand Award for four consecutive years. Located in Gangnam (Line 2 Gangnam Station, Line 9 Sinnonhyeon Station), connecting Seoul and Gyeonggi, it offers convenient public transportation access from Seoul's Gangnam-gu, Seocho-gu, Gwanak-gu, Guro-gu, Yongsan-gu Hannam-dong, as well as Gyeonggi's Gwacheon, Yongin, Suwon, Guri, and Namyangju.
