ESTsoft (CEO Chung Sang-won), a company specializing in AI services, announced on the 29th that it is recruiting students for the talent development program it runs as part of 'K-Digital Training'. Earlier this month ESTsoft was selected, alongside Intel, Amazon and Unity, as a training institution for the government's K-Digital Training program for digital talent development and job creation.
The training program ESTsoft is introducing as its first K-Digital Training initiative is the 'Backend Developer Bootcamp'.
Aimed at producing job-ready talent, the course is designed for ▲non-majors who want to become backend developers, ▲majors who want experience of real-world projects and ▲job seekers interested in working at ESTsoft.
The curriculum covers GitHub, Python, JavaScript, Django, HTML and CSS as foundation material and PostgreSQL and ERD as advanced material, delivered by working developers combining theory with practice to produce job-ready talent.
Notably, it runs individual and team projects to solve specific challenges, helping every student build and strengthen the capabilities a developer needs while producing work they can use in their own portfolio.
Summary lectures for preparatory study and real-time mentoring are provided so that every student completes the course successfully, along with consulting on personal statements and interviews to help them start a career as a developer.
Top graduates are also exempt from document screening and the coding test when applying for backend developer roles at ESTsoft group companies.
Training runs for about four months from late April to early September, delivered entirely as live online classes for convenience. As government-funded training, tuition is fully covered and a training allowance is paid separately, though students must obtain a Tomorrow Learning Card to receive these benefits.
Applications for the 'Backend Developer Bootcamp' are accepted through ESTsoft's careers page until April 10. Applicants who pass document screening take an online preliminary test, with final results announced on April 17.
An ESTsoft representative said: "The Backend Developer Bootcamp is not just a training program but an all-in-one, developer-focused employment support service that designs a career by building and improving students' capabilities and connecting them to a job," adding, "We prepared this course as a program to find the people who will work with ESTsoft, and we hope many will apply."
