The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) are accepting applications for the first round of 2026 AI guest lecturers for the Game Talent Institute until April 30.

This recruitment aims to secure expert instructors and establish a systematic management framework to strengthen practice-oriented curricula. The institute is seeking professionals capable of applying AI technology across all game development fields, including game design, art, and programming. The selection process has been improved to allow candidates to propose new AI-based curricula, moving away from the traditional subject-based selection method.

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree and possess at least six years of experience in game development or game-related education, or have proven expertise in applying AI technology to game development or services.

The institute plans to select individuals who can reflect real-world industry production capabilities in their teaching, based on practical experience in areas such as data analysis-based system design and generative AI content creation.

Selected individuals will be added to the Game Talent Institute's instructor pool and participate in lectures based on educational demand. This will serve as the foundation for a structured instructor management system for semester-based operations.

The selection process consists of a document review, a trial lecture, and an interview. The document review focuses on professional skills and competencies. Subsequently, the trial lecture and Q&A session will verify the candidate's actual teaching ability. Final registration as a guest lecturer is confirmed by a review committee.

Starting this year, the Game Talent Institute is strengthening its practice-oriented education in response to the spread of AI. In the design field, it is expanding education on AI-based game architecture and content creation. In the art field, it is operating programs focused on collaborative skills by applying AI technology throughout the production process. The programming field is also establishing an educational system that bridges basic AI understanding with practical in-game application.

Applications are open until April 30, and submissions can be made via the application page on the official KOCCA website from April 13 to 2:00 PM on April 30.

Kim Sung-jun, Head of the Game & New Technology Division at KOCCA, stated, "The game production environment is changing rapidly due to the proliferation of AI technology. We will strive to enhance educational quality by securing professional instructors with field experience and foster the talent that will lead the future game industry."
