From July 16 to August 27, 2025 (over seven sessions), the course focused on practical, hands-on training every Wednesday, helping participants acquire real-world construction skills and boost their competitiveness for employment and entrepreneurship.

Meanwhile, building on this success, Goseong County plans to continue offering home repair and other national technical qualification-related training to promote the economic self-reliance of local residents and the development of local industries.
