Gangnam-gu, headed by District Chief Kim Hyun-ki, announced on Oct. 22 that it will begin publishing the "Gangnam Monthly AI Learning Map" this month. The comprehensive guide lists 280 AI courses offered by nine departments. It was created in response to concerns that, because AI and digital education programs had been run separately by each department, residents found it difficult to get an overview of available courses or find programs suited to their needs.

The learning map includes information on target participants, course content, schedules, and how to apply. Courses are organized by level, from basic digital skills for beginners to AI education focused on practical applications, advanced programs, and training linked to employment and entrepreneurship, enabling residents to choose courses based on their skills and needs. The district said it also focused on showing the connections between individual programs and how the courses progress.

The guide is available in print at local educational facilities, libraries, and multipurpose cultural centers. It can also be accessed on the Gangnam-gu Lifelong Learning website (www.longlearn.go.kr).

"To respond proactively to the rapidly changing AI and digital era, we must first create an environment where all residents can easily and conveniently access the educational information they want," District Chief Kim Hyun-ki said. "We will continue to develop and connect customized educational programs that can help residents take their digital skills to the next level."
