SAMSUNG SDI is committed to empowering future generations and building a better world. We aim to help every individual reach their full potential through social contribution initiatives that leverage our core expertise and resources, with a dedicated focus on the growth of children and youth. Furthermore, we implement diverse social contribution activities that reflect our unique business characteristics, fulfilling our corporate social responsibility through meaningful action.
We operate the 'Samsung Software Academy for Youth (SSAFY)' to enhance the employability of aspiring software developers. This one-year intensive program provides a structured curriculum for young talent. Participants master essential skills such as algorithms, coding, and web technologies in the foundational course, then strengthen their practical expertise by working with core Industry 4.0 technologies, including AI and IoT, in the advanced course.
SAMSUNG SDI is strengthening its educational support for youth through 'Dream Class 2.0,' a hybrid model that integrates online and offline learning. The program offers three core pillars of educational content designed for future readiness and career development: Career Guidance, Future Skills Education, and Academic Learning. Furthermore, we support youth in unlocking their full potential through multi-dimensional mentoring involving university students, Samsung employees, and industry experts.
Stepping Stone of Hope (Heemang Didimdol) provides safe housing and diverse vocational training to help youth aging out of foster care achieve financial independence. The program serves as a central hub for self-reliance by connecting resources from local individuals, institutions, and organizations. Additionally, our employees participate as mentors, sharing the concerns of these young adults and supporting their transition into society by helping them prepare for the future.
The 'Blue Elephant' program takes its name from the color ‘blue’, symbolizing peace and stability, and the ‘elephant’, known for protecting its herd. It is a comprehensive initiative that educates youth on cyberbullying prevention and response, while providing psychological counseling for victims. Furthermore, to address the root causes of cyberbullying, we support academic research and National Assembly policy forums to analyze underlying issues and establish effective response strategies.
We stand at the forefront of resolving environmental issues for sustainable society and future generations.
We spread the spirit of sharing with donations raised by our employees and their participation in volunteer programs for those who are underprivileged and local children center. Every family holiday season, we set up a special market with local farmers to boost and promote their businesses.
