[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Content Agency are recruiting trainees for an educational program to nurture ‘professional solo creator instructors’ by 11 a.m. on August 17.

A solo creator refers to an individual content creator who provides self-produced photos, videos, and other content to the public online.

Solo broadcast activities on YouTube and AfreecaTV are typical examples.

Eligible applicants are residents of Gyeonggi Province (including those affiliated with universities or workplaces in Gyeonggi Province) aged 19 or older who are actively involved as creators.

Creator activity criteria include 100 or more subscribers, 10 or more videos on a personal channel, or cumulative live streaming of 20 hours or more.

Interested applicants can apply online through the Gyeonggi Content Agency website (www.gcon.or.kr) via the Notice Board ➝ Education and Events section by 11 a.m. on August 17.

The province will recruit a total of 40 trainees and conduct online classes beginning in September. The program employs an intensive two-way educational format combining video viewing and live online classes.

Additionally, mock practice sessions have been arranged where professional instructors provide real-time evaluation as trainees conduct demonstration lectures. The instructor team consists of specialist instructors and practitioners in respective fields, including channel and content analysis.

Tuition is free.

A 100,000-won deposit will be fully refunded upon completion of 70% or more of the coursework. Trainees can use the Creator Studio (reservation-based) free of charge during the training period.

Outstanding graduates will receive follow-up support enabling enhanced creative activities, including job placement through exclusive creator contracts and annual solo creator instructor practice support.

A Gyeonggi Province official stated, “We have prepared this instructor training program in response to the growing demand for solo media education,” adding, “We will actively support trainees in their activities as professional solo media instructors.”
