    [left to right] Coach Joowon Jung (SW Academy Jungle), CEO Bumkyu Lee (Team Sparta), Prof. Sukyoung Ryu (KAIST SoC, SW Academy Jungle Head Professor), Director Junghan Kim (Krafton Jungle), Chairman Byung-gyu Chang(SW Academy Jungle) Krafton (CEO: Changhan Kim) announced on the 11th that it launches the operation of Krafton Jungle, the software talent training program. Krafton Jungle is a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program for nurturing software talents devised to fulfill social responsibility in Krafton's unique way. It started with the purpose of job creation for youth while at the same time solving the software engineer shortage problem in the industry. Training will start in the second half of this year by recruiting about 60 applicants between the ages of 22 and 32 prospective graduates or graduates who wish to switch careers to software developers. The program is planned to gradually increase the number of trainees so that it can discharge at most 1000 developers each year by 2025. Krafton Jungle will continue on the core values ​​of the non-degree program 'SW Academy Jungle', which KAIST currently operates. The curriculum will be applied to learn the core knowledge in computer science and the core philosophies pursued by ‘SW Academy Jungle’, which include immersion experience through five months of intense training, a self-directed learning scheme, and team-based collaboration. Most of the graduates of 'SW Academy Jungle' have joined major IT companies, and Krafton Jungle also plans to continue the successful results by nurturing continuously growing developers. To this end, Krafton signed an MOU with KAIST on the 5th and promised to cooperate for the operation of Krafton Jungle. Krafton will reflect the core values ​​of SW Academy Jungle, and KAIST will continue to provide advice on program operation. “The jungle door is open to those who have a passion for learning and growth,” said Sukyoung Ryu, the head of KAIST School of Computing. “We will work closely with Krafton throughout the program, including developing a high-quality curriculum,” she added. In addition, Krafton appointed Jeonghan Kim, co-founder of Bluehole (currently Krafton) as the director of Krafton Jungle. Krafton revealed the background of his appointment, saying that Director Kim has accumulated rich experience as a game developer and software engineer and will greatly contribute to nurturing younger students. Krafton Jungle Director Kim said, “The demand for software developers is rapidly increasing, but there are very few with the capabilities wanted by the industry, so companies are having difficulties hiring talented people. Krafton Jungle will contribute to job creation for many youths and play a key role in the win-win development of society by nurturing talented people who will endlessly challenge themselves."

  • KAIST Convergence AMP program had the 15th entranc..

    KAIST Convergence AMP program (KCAMP, supervisor Prof. Young Whan Kim) held the 15th entrance ceremony on September 4th. The reason CEOs continue to study is to be responsive to new trends and to have wider human networks. If so, a CEO program could be evaluated according to the contents of the curriculum and the composition of the study group. In this regard, the KCAMP is a prestigious program with a curriculum that is tailored to the tastes of corporate executives. The KCAMP program aims to be a distinguished CEO course by integrating KAIST’s capabilities as a global research-oriented university with the fields of management and humanities. It is known to have Korea’s best faculties, differentiated curriculum, diverse students, wide network with alumni, detailed learning support service, active support from KAIST and geographical advantages of Gangnam. The convergence of industries and the transition into a hyper-connected society made by novel technologies such as artificial intelligence, IoT, Big Data and 5G inform us that the fourth industrial revolution is emerging. The KCAMP course aims to educate CEOs who have to prepare for the era of the 4th industrial revolution and to foresee the big trends of industry and society. The KCAMP course aims to train convergence type leaders in preparation for the fourth industrial revolution era. The students were well suited for the convergence program. Among the 40 students were 15 representatives/officers of mid and small sized companies, 8 officers of large size companies, 6 from government and public institutions and 5 from finance, with some people from the media, lawyers and other professionals. The entrance ceremony was attended by more than 50 senior students who have completed the program. They welcomed and socialized with the new students, and organized monthly gathering of all students and alumni to form networks. Professor Kim, the manager of the program, emphasized that KCAMP is striving to become a platform for industry-university cooperation through his speech in the ceremony. He proposed specific directions for development such as linking KAIST students and companies for recruitment, conducting joint research and projects between KAIST and companies and training human resources. KCAMP is a 19-week long program. Upon completion of the program in next January, students of the 15th cycle will be able to participate in various projects held in KAIST and utilize advanced research facilities as KAIST alumni.

    Last year, an undergraduate student at KAIST donated his earnings from his developed app to the school. This time, the graduated students donated their earnings from the app they sold. Last December, the School of Computing student, Young-Hoon Park (25 years old), donated 10 million KRW ($8,200 USD). On September 9th, 2014, Park sold his smartphone application “Seoul Bus” to Kakao Corp. and donated the part of the earnings as a grateful to the school. In addition, Dong-Woo Kim (29 years old) who graduated from the school also donated 10 million KRW to KAIST with a message to use it for his younger students on last December. They are all graduated from the School of Computing at KAIST and worked together for the social commerce company, ‘Rottyful.’ The younger students’ donation news lead to the seniors’ donation; they founded a startup company, ‘Rottyful,’ together. The 8 co-founders of ‘Rottyful’—Kyung Ryul Goo (33), Dong Ju Kim (34), Dong Hee Yoon (34), Joon Ki Lee (34), Cham Sol Lee (33), Hyun Jong Lee (34), Sung Hoon Jang (33), and Joo Young Jung (34)—donated 100 million KRW ($82,000 USD) total, on last December. ‘Rottyful’ is a social commerce company provides a discount sale information based on the location information. This is the first service provides a real-time nearby discount information from the user’s location information. The service has spotlighted for the investigation of SoftBank Ventures Korea Corp, and has merged to Kakao Corp. in 2011. The alumnus, Sung Hoon Jang said, “I heard the news that my younger students have donated to the school,” and said, “We used to talk about the donation before, but we couldn’t take it to action. We were very proud of them when we heard the news, so we decided to donate as well.” The alumnus, Cham Sol Lee said, “We decided to donate together without any hesitation because we all were interested in the donation before,” and said, “We get a benefit from the school even after the graduation. I hope this donation to be helpful to the school.” After Kakao Corp. merged Rottyful, the startup members of Rottyful have lead Kakao’s growth. Now, most members have retired from the company and preparing for the next startup. The alumnus, Hyun Jong Lee said with smile, “I hope our donation lead to the other student’s donation,” and said, “We are planning on another startup, so we will work hard to donate more.” President Sung-Mo Kang at KAIST said, “The graduated students’ interest and investment is the motivation of KAIST’s growth,” and said, “I greatly appreciate for the alumni to support and encourage our school.” The appreciation plaque to the Rottyful startup members will be held at 1:00 PM, on Monday, February 1st.
