The program was held every Thursday for a total of four sessions starting from May 15, and on June 5, a completion ceremony was held, with 10 graduates receiving certificates. The certificates were awarded under the name of the president of Gyeongnam College of Information Technology.

This program is being recognized as a meaningful course that goes beyond simple education. It is evaluated as an opportunity for the elderly to improve their quality of life, reflect on their own lives, and contemplate the dignified conclusion of life.

One participant expressed gratitude to the college for providing lifelong education programs to meet the educational needs of seniors in the Saha-gu area.

Lee Sungwook, head of the Innovation Support Project Group, stated, "We will continue to expand lifelong education programs that any citizen of Busan can participate in, so that people of all generations can enjoy the joy of learning."

The Innovation Support Project Group at Gyeongnam College of Information Technology has been operating lifelong education programs since 2022. This year, it is focusing on broadening the range of participants and enhancing the quality of its programs. In particular, the college is collaborating with organizations such as the Sasang-gu Family Center, Sasang Women's Resources Development Center, and Saha-gu Youth Counseling and Welfare Center to offer lifelong education in a variety of fields.
