Online sales channel support — four weeks of hands-on training starting Oct. 7
Step-by-step instruction from store setup to content creation and marketing — first-come, first-served enrollment for 30 participants open Monday through Sept. 27 on the Gwangjin-gu website
Gwangjin-gu will run its "2026 Smart Store Training for Small Business Owners and Aspiring Entrepreneurs" to help local small business owners and would-be founders build online sales channels and sharpen their marketing skills.
The program was designed to help participants keep pace with the rapidly expanding online consumer market by equipping them with the practical skills needed to operate a smart store — from promoting products to completing actual sales on their own.
Classes will run from Oct. 7 to Nov. 4 at the Gwangjin-gu Office's mid-sized conference room and integrated operations center. The curriculum covers each stage of smart store operation — store setup, product listing, promotional content creation and online marketing — and pairs instruction with hands-on exercises in which participants register products and produce content themselves, so they can apply what they learn directly to real online sales.
Small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs who wish to enroll can apply through the Gwangjin-gu website from Monday through Sept. 27 on a first-come, first-served basis, with a cap of 30 participants. Full details are available on the Gwangjin-gu website and its official blog and Instagram.
"We structured the curriculum around hands-on practice so participants can learn everything themselves — from listing products to creating promotional content," Gwangjin-gu District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said. "We hope this training helps small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs overcome the challenges of selling online and open up new sales channels."
