Artificial intelligence (AI) training is being launched for working professionals who feel burdened by time management and job skills while juggling work and household duties. The program focuses in particular on office workers seeking to improve both work efficiency and daily-life management, such as women in their 30s and 40s with career experience who struggle to balance work and family.
The Seoul Foundation of Women & Family announced Wednesday that it will run "Work + Life Tailored AI Training" for working professionals and citizens. The training focuses on strengthening practical skills rather than simple theory, and its curriculum reflects the results of a survey of workers who participated in the "Seoul Career Up Project," a job-search support program for women in their 30s and 40s with career experience.
According to the survey, the biggest difficulty in adapting to the workplace was the burden of balancing work and family (26.2%), followed by a lack of job expertise (21.9%). In response, the foundation designed an education program to help workers boost work efficiency using AI and manage their daily lives more systematically.
The entire course will be conducted online via Zoom, and participants can choose between a weekday evening session (the 23rd, 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) and a weekend morning session (the 25th, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.). The training will be held twice in total, and any working professional who wants to improve efficiency in work and life can apply. Applications are accepted online until the 19th, and details are available on the Seoul Foundation of Women & Family website.
The training will be run in a "tailored" format that reflects a preliminary demand survey. During the application stage, participants' difficulties in using AI and the areas they need for work and daily life will be identified and incorporated into the training content.
The training is divided into job-related AI and daily-life AI, each running for 70 minutes. The job section covers document and report writing and summarization, data organization, and planning tasks, while the daily-life section includes practical content such as household spending management, information search and summarization, and health management.
Participants will be given priority access to follow-up advanced training, along with AI prompt materials that can be applied directly to their work. The foundation plans to continue expanding training to strengthen workers' practical AI skills going forward.
"AI is now a basic skill that everyone should use in their work and daily lives," said Park Jung-sook, CEO of the Seoul Foundation of Women & Family. "We have improved accessibility so that even workers unfamiliar with AI can start without pressure, and we hope this training becomes an opportunity to boost efficiency in work and life."
