내용

Busan Metropolitan City Women’s Center announced that it will begin recruiting students for the “2026 Second-Term Education Program” starting March 11.

This education program will run for approximately three months, from April 6 to June 30, to support citizens’ participation in economic activities such as employment and entrepreneurship and to enhance the capabilities of working individuals.

Approximately 1,700 students will be recruited for 92 courses across nine fields: crafts, beauty, cooking, coffee, baking, sewing, foreign languages, computers, and educational tools for older adults. Course schedules may be adjusted depending on the circumstances of each class.

In particular, the program will offer certification courses helpful for employment and entrepreneurship, functional and cultural enrichment courses, and evening and weekend courses for working individuals.

Certification courses include cooking certification (Korean cuisine / Western cuisine), beautician certification (makeup / nail / general), Information Technology Qualification Test (ITQ Internet), Basic TOEIC, and floral design technician certification.

Evening courses will include floral design industrial engineer certification, Coffee Barista Level 2, and foreign languages (English, Japanese, Chinese), while weekend courses will include Family Home Baking, Clothes Making, and Calligraphy.

Any citizen aged 18 or older who is interested in the courses may participate. Applications will be conducted in three phases—priority recruitment, general recruitment, and additional recruitment—and can be submitted on a first-come, first-served basis through the Women’s Center website (https://woman.busan.go.kr).

For priority recruitment, which is intended for socially disadvantaged groups such as Basic Livelihood Security recipients and families with multiple children (two or more children), applications will be accepted from 9:00 a.m. on March 11 to 6:00 p.m. on March 13.

For general recruitment, the first round will run from 9:00 a.m. on March 18 to 6:00 p.m. on March 25. Applicants who have consecutively enrolled in the same course for the previous four terms will be restricted from registering for that course in this term.

As of 6:00 p.m. on the final day of the second round (April 3), courses with fewer than 60 percent of their enrollment capacity filled will be canceled.
