SK launches two-year AI-era program for young people
South Korean company SK is launching SK AIGEN, a two-year, full-time program for people aged 19 to 34.
It is designed for young people who want to explore challenges and new career paths in the age of artificial intelligence.
Instead of teaching subjects first and applying them later, participants will work on practical projects and get help from mentors and experts.
SK will provide training, project mentoring, work space and 3 million won a month for two years.
The program does not offer a degree or guarantee a job at SK or another company.
The first group is expected to start in March, with applications open from November 1 to 15 and about 50 people to be selected by the end of December.
SK is working with Seoul National University's AI Institute to help participants connect AI with other fields and plan their careers.
