SEOUL, Feb. 25 (Korea Bizwire) — The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced that a so-called ‘Visiting College Education’ program will be offered near subway stations or at work for employees at participating companies.
Seoul reported on Sunday that it will run ‘Visiting College Education’ and ‘Afterwork College Education’ programs for the first time starting in May after teaming up with a number of local companies.
The programs are targeting busy workers.
‘Visiting College Education’ is an educational service where lecturers are sent to visit private companies.
