Woori Bank Adds 5 More Senior IT Happiness Learning Centers

Woori Bank announced on the 20th that it held the opening ceremony of the 'WOORI Senior IT Happiness Learning Center - Songpa Branch' at the Songpa Senior Club located in Songpa-gu.

The 'WOORI Senior IT Happiness Learning Center' is a complex digital and IT education space for the elderly, created by Woori Bank in collaboration with the Comprehensive Support Center for Elderly Living Alone to address digital exclusion among the elderly and support the enhancement of their digital capabilities.

Starting with the opening of the Eunpyeong Branch in 2022, Woori Bank established five additional centers in Seoul in 2023. In particular, in 2024, the target areas were expanded to the metropolitan area, and the scope of institutions was broadened from welfare centers to include senior clubs, which are dedicated organizations for elderly job training, completing the selection of locations. Beginning with the Songpa Branch this year, sequential openings will follow in Gangseo, Dongjak, as well as Gwangmyeong and Seongnam branches, resulting in a total of 11 IT Happiness Learning Centers in operation.

Woori Bank designed the spaces by reflecting the characteristics of each welfare institution and the opinions of the elderly, creating a 'Smart Lounge' where the latest digital devices such as AI speakers and smart tables can be freely experienced, a 'Smart Learning Center' for digital education including mobile financial transactions, and a 'Kiosk Zone' where users can practice operating kiosks in various situations such as food ordering and movie ticket booking.

Especially, the 'WOORI Senior IT Happiness Learning Center - Songpa Branch,' established in Songpa-gu with a large elderly population, has been tailored to the characteristics of the Songpa Senior Club, an elderly job support organization, by providing a 'Smart Career Connection Center' for customized digital education and job counseling, and a 'Smart Vitality Recharge Center' where physical abilities can be measured and supplemented, supporting diverse education and activities for seniors.

Jung Jin-wan, the bank president, said, "I hope the WOORI Senior IT Happiness Learning Center will serve as a complex digital education space that provides practical help in the daily lives of the elderly," adding, "Woori Bank will continue to spare no effort in creating a better world through finance."
