  • An information search contest for disabled teenagers

SK Telecom launched an earnest effort to help the teenagers with disabilities and their teachers learn how to use PCs and benefit from the transition into the Information Society.
The company said that it would open Internet classes for the instructors for the teenagers with disabilities and hold an Internet search contest for teenagers with disabilities to help develop their abilities to use computers and the Internet and prepare themselves for the Information Age.
The company says that this program is aimed at helping the children have broader perspectives on the changes of the society and to be better prepared for the coming Information Age.
The first class for the teachers were held at the SK Telecom Building of Ewha Womens University on May 22 as most schools for disabled teenagers lack necessary facilities and systematic teaching methods.
