The Korea U-Learning Association announced on the 27th that it has launched the "AI Proficiency Training Program for Office Workers" (also known as the "AI Mastery Academy for Professionals") and will begin full-scale student recruitment starting in 2026.

Based on its experience operating the "AI Utilization Education Expert Training Program"-a blended online and offline course for university teaching and learning center staff held twice in May and November 2025-the association plans to expand the "AI Mastery Academy for Professionals" in 2026 to include all university staff, as well as employees of public institutions who have postponed participation due to security concerns.

Hwang Hyunseok, a professor at Hallym University who has led AI utilization education for three consecutive years as part of the Ministry of Education’s Glocal AI Leading University Support Project, will participate as an instructor. The attached program outlines a 16-session blended online and offline course designed to strengthen job competencies through AI utilization.

Since leading the enactment of the E-learning Act in January 2004, the Korea U-Learning Association has driven the activation of e-learning for over 20 years by nurturing e-learning professionals and certifying content quality. Now, in the era of artificial intelligence, the association plans to accelerate AI-based human resource development to build a new job ecosystem that takes into account the era of extreme uncertainty.
