Santa Opens AI Training Center, Strengthening Practical AI Education

Santa, which operates the AI all-in-one education platform 'Didissum,' has set an important milestone for fostering key talent in the AI era. By officially opening the 'AI Training Center,' a specialized education hub for universities, businesses, and public institutions, it is embarking on the expansion of AI education that can be immediately applied to practical work. The opening of this center stemmed from the recognition that despite the rapid advancement of AI technology, there is a lack of systematic and practice-oriented AI training programs required in the field. Its distinctive feature is a significant reinforcement of practical training, moving away from existing concept-focused education, to cultivate AI capabilities directly needed in industrial settings. This aligns with Santa's vision to help AI be utilized as an innovative tool across all industries, not just specific IT fields. The AI Training Center operates AI certification courses from global companies such as Microsoft, AWS, NVIDIA, and Intel, and widely offers the latest generative AI practical training courses, including ChatGPT, DALL·E, and Stable Diffusion. It adopts a hybrid approach, combining online learning with offline practical sessions, designed to allow learners to systematically grasp AI concepts, apply them to real projects, and develop problem-solving skills. Santa doesn't stop at merely providing standard training courses but also operates customized AI education programs tailored to the characteristics of each institution. It offers comprehensive solutions that support in-house AI training and the creation of AI-based work environments, meeting the demands of various organizations such as startups, small and medium-sized enterprises, and public institutions. Furthermore, it plans to further strengthen practice-oriented AI education by providing opportunities for AI experts and learners to collaborate through AI practical projects and hackathons, jointly developing AI solutions needed for actual work. The opening of this AI Training Center is expected to be a significant turning point for universities, businesses, and public institutions to strengthen their AI capabilities and accelerate digital transformation. This practical training, designed to help maximize the boundless potential of AI for tasks such as business automation, data analysis, and complex problem-solving, will dramatically enhance the productivity and competitiveness of each institution. Park Ki-woong, CEO of Santa, stated, "Through the AI Training Center, we will expand AI education that is closer to practical application and strengthen practice-oriented education so that AI can be actually utilized in various industries," expressing a strong commitment to fostering key talent in the AI era.
