This program was conducted from July 16 to August 7 as part of the Gwangju Future Life Community Academy initiative promoted by the Gwangju University Anchor Project Group. It was carried out in collaboration with the Korea Photonics Technology Institute (KOPTI), a specialized research institution in photonics, and saw 103 participants complete the course. In particular, the program also included company-specific sessions by visiting local businesses such as Amkor Technology Korea, TS Tech, and Precision Optics, which made participation more convenient for employees.

According to a satisfaction survey conducted after the course ended, all respondents expressed their intention to enroll in follow-up programs, indicating a high demand for retraining among local employees.

Jeong Geonyong, head of the Anchor Project Group, stated, "While demand for employee training in the photonics and semiconductor sectors—the region's main industries—is rapidly increasing due to the proliferation of AI and digital transformation, it is not easy for small and medium-sized companies to establish their own training systems. The university will continue to take the lead as a hub for nurturing local talent by expanding practical, job-oriented training programs that employees can apply directly in their workplaces."
