This training aims to cultivate practical talent skilled in financial IT and AI agent development. The curriculum includes job training in programming, databases, financial engineering, and AI transformation, as well as job-readiness lectures, career counseling, and on-the-job training (OJT) to strengthen participants' employability.

In particular, the program will feature hands-on mentoring by digital experts from group affiliates and award outstanding projects presented in a hackathon, in order to improve trainees’ project execution skills.

All education expenses and a monthly training allowance of 600,000 won will be provided to trainees. In addition, trainees who earn digital or finance certificates during the program will receive a one-time congratulatory payment of 100,000 won.

A Shinhan Financial Group representative said, "Helping young people find employment is a challenge we must solve together as a society," and added, "Going forward, Shinhan Financial Group will continue to expand a variety of programs to help young people build practical skills covering both AI and finance."
