On July 24, Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation held an opening ceremony for the Gyeonggi-do Technical School Northern Campus at the Changjo Innovation Campus in Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, officially launching its operations.


The Gyeonggi-do Technical School Northern Campus was established to improve access to vocational training for residents in northern Gyeonggi and to systematically develop specialized technical manpower required by local industries. By expanding the educational base of the existing Gyeonggi-do Technical School in Hwaseong-si into the northern region, a foundation has been created for residents to receive high-quality technical education closer to home.


The northern campus is located on the 9th floor of Building A, Changjo Innovation Campus in Goyang-si, and is equipped with classrooms, practice labs, offices, and education preparation rooms.


The curriculum focuses on enhancing practical skills applicable in industrial settings. In addition to job-linked training in electrical facilities, system heating and cooling, air conditioning and refrigeration, courses to strengthen digital competencies using artificial intelligence (AI) are also offered.


Through these programs, the school aims to foster talent that combines expertise in traditional manufacturing and facilities with future digital technologies, and to cultivate workforce ready to respond to rapidly changing industrial environments.


The Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation plans to strengthen field-oriented education by utilizing the latest training equipment and educational facilities, and will continue to expand customized training programs that reflect the needs of regional companies and industries.


In particular, by helping trainees improve their practical abilities and enhance their job competitiveness, the foundation aims to establish the northern campus as the leading public vocational training institution in northern Gyeonggi, contributing to job creation and strengthening industrial competitiveness in the region.


Deokryong Yoon, CEO of the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation, stated, "The Gyeonggi-do Technical School Northern Campus will be a hub for vocational training that enhances industrial competitiveness in northern Gyeonggi and provides residents with new employment opportunities." He added, "We will continue to expand education tailored to changes in the industrial field, building the foundation for lifelong vocational education so that everyone can prepare for the future."



Meanwhile, the opening ceremony was attended by Eunjeong Ko, Deputy Speaker of the Gyeonggi Provincial Council; Min Choi, Vice Chairperson of the Economic and Labor Committee; Assembly members Kyugeun Song and Gidae Lee; Juseong Kwon, Gyeonggi Province Director of Economic Planning; Kyungseon Min, Mayor of Goyang Special City; Misoo Kim, Chairperson of the Goyang Special City Council; Deokryong Yoon, CEO of the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation; as well as about 100 trainees and other stakeholders, who gathered to celebrate the new beginning of the northern campus.
