Starting from the end of August, Keimyung University Korea Taekwondo Center is to start taekwondo training for 50 trainees. The trainees can get qualifications as taekwondo instructors or as gym managers. At the end of July, the Center plan to invite a gym manager from America and have a presentation for unemployed young people who have 3rd dan in taekwondo, have graduated from university, and want to work in America.

The study and the training include general education for taekwondo, theory of martial arts, and physical training. Language teaching also has an important part because trainees are to be sent to American taekwondo gyms. This project will cost one hundred and ninety million won for six months, and one hundred and thirty million is sponsored by the Human Resources Development Service of Korea.
