Wemade Max said on Wednesday it signed a memorandum of understanding with Seoul Digitech High School to operate a contract-based specialised high school workforce training programme.

The MOU was signed to support stable operations of the contract-based specialised high school programme and to systematically develop locally based industry talent needed at worksites in the game and digital content industries.

The two organisations plan to jointly design detailed measures for education projects, including an industry-academia convergence education plan and an employment-linked programme. They aim to build an on-site, practice-oriented talent development system based on this work. They also plan to establish an industry-academia cooperation governance framework and cooperate on support for tangible and intangible infrastructure needed to carry out education so the model can operate stably.

They also plan to set up a performance management and agreement-implementation framework and jointly review overall operations so the cooperation project can lead to tangible results. The goal is to build a sustainable talent development system that organically links school education with the industrial workplace.

Wemade Max plans to continue talent development activities that consider both the growth of future generations and the development of the industrial ecosystem. It plans to support teenagers so they can systematically build capabilities required at industrial worksites through cooperation with educational institutions, and to actively contribute to creating an environment in which locally based talent can grow in a stable way.
