LG Uplus has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Korea Healthy Family Promotion Institute to enhance the digital skills of multicultural families and single-person households.
The agreement, announced on September 3, aims to bridge the digital divide for vulnerable groups, including multicultural families and single-person households, by leveraging a network of 244 family centers across the country to create a safe digital environment.
The Korea Healthy Family Promotion Institute will implement programs that include smartphone and AI training, as well as education on preventing voice phishing and smishing. LG Uplus will provide IT educational materials such as smart TVs and laptops to support these training initiatives. The educational resources will be used to operate digital education programs at family centers and to build educational infrastructure.
This year, LG Uplus has conducted smartphone training for multicultural families and marriage immigrants at family centers in Ansan, Gwangmyeong, and Hwaseong, achieving high satisfaction rates. Based on the results of this pilot program, the company plans to expand the training to family centers nationwide, aiming to improve information accessibility for digital vulnerable groups, including multicultural families and single-person households.
Park Gu-yeon, director of the Korea Healthy Family Promotion Institute, stated, "A foundation has been established to expand education and support for digital vulnerable groups centered around the national family center network. We will continue to collaborate with LG Uplus to help diverse families adapt to the digital society and enhance their capabilities."
Joo Yong-han, head of consumer affairs at LG Uplus, remarked, "As AI technology rapidly spreads, the importance of safely and effectively utilizing digital skills is growing. We will work with the Korea Healthy Family Promotion Institute to enhance information accessibility for digital vulnerable groups, ensuring that everyone can benefit from digital technology."
