Background
In 2020, the Korean New Deal made digital talent a core goal of the post-pandemic recovery. KDT lets firms such as Naver and Kakao, along with universities and academies, design immersive courses. An entry-level basic-skills track was added later.
Choosing a course
Courses run through the Tomorrow Learning Card, often full-time for several months, with fees mostly covered and a monthly allowance for good attendance. Finishing doesn't guarantee a job. Compare the curriculum with real postings, and check graduates' employment, team projects, and code review. Most graduates still need a portfolio and coding-test prep.
FAQ

- No, many tracks target non-majors, though some have entry tests.
