Osan City Holds Women's Center Graduation Ceremony
About 300 people, including graduates and their families, attended the Small Performance Hall of the Culture and Arts Center, and a work presentation showcasing what students have learned to date was held together with the ceremony.
Park Jeong-ah, a representative of the 20th class of graduates from the GTQ Photoshop Certification Course located in Osandong, received her completion certificate. Additionally, completion letters were presented to six new instructors including Kim Su-hwa from the Reading and Writing Discussion Instructor Certification Course, which was newly appointed in 2011.
At this event, Mayor Gwak Sang-wook said, "It is very meaningful to hold the graduation ceremony and work presentation after completing this difficult educational program." He added, "Whereas education was school-centered in the past, the current era is one of lifelong education where education is needed in all areas of life. We will create an environment where anyone can learn whenever citizens desire and need it."
He continued, "In 2011, we will operate educational programs that strengthen employment support functions for women with interrupted careers, and we will do our best to make the Women's Center a venue for lifelong education where women hoping to be re-employed can receive education at any time."
Starting next year, new programs with enhanced employment support functions will be offered in the Women's Center programs.
New courses will include Reading and Writing Discussion Instructors, After-School Mathematics Instructors, Art Psychotherapists, Caregivers, Postpartum Care Specialists, and Baby Sitters.
Additionally, programs will be operated in three sessions per year over a 16-week, 4-month period, and out of 56 operational courses, 37 employment support courses will be offered, accounting for and operating 66% of all courses.
The enrollment target is 1,100 students per session for a total of 3,300 graduates.
