Samsung Dream Class
Samsung Dream Class, which originally started as a combination of after-school classes and vacation camps in Korea, was revamped in 2021 as a comprehensive education program built on three pillars: career counseling, future skills training (e.g., global communication, coding, math, logic), and academic curriculum. The program engages Samsung employees and field experts as mentors. In 2023, we provided a total of 41.7 billion won to the Samsung Youth SW Academy. In 2023, we provided a total of KRW 8.1 billion in funding to Samsung Dream Class.

Samsung Electronics employee from Dream Class
Jeong Eun-jin (Employee at Samsung Electronics, Modem Solution Team, System LSI) attended Samsung Dream Class and received tutoring from a college student mentor in 2012 when she was in her third year of middle school. After entering college, she participated in the program as a mentor herself and helped middle school students with their studies. She then joined Samsung Electronics in 2019.
In 2021, she again participated in Samsung Dream Class, this time as an employee mentor to give back to the program that had helped her.
“Back in middle school when I was aspiring to go to a science high school to pursue my dreams, through Samsung Dream Class, I met a mentor who had graduated from a science high school. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to enter a science high school as well,” she said. “I hope more students can pursue their dreams through this program like I had.”
