NC

NC University believes that broad horizons and outside-the-box thinking are instrumental in career advancement, which is why it offers a special program, Insightful Lectures. This program provides interesting and useful insights into various issues related to game development. Every month, NC’s employees and invited experts give lectures on different topics and share their knowledge as well as their own professional experiences with the attendees.

Apart from the Insightful Lectures given on a regular basis, NC University also occasionally organizes an NC Dev Class that consists of a series of lectures. These lectures promote open innovation and provide information on the latest domestic and foreign technology trends so that NC’s employees can utilize them in both business and development.

NC University provides all employees with a learning environment to help them develop expertise and competencies in line with the company’s vision. As an example, NC believes in the significance of data and strives to become a data-driven organization where all members make decisions based on the data. That is why NC University offers various training programs to employees helping them strengthen their expertise in the data-driven approach.

One such program is a special course in Game Data Analysis. Game data is a valuable resource; companies collect and analyze it to provide optimized services to players and to make their game content more interesting. NC University tries to satisfy the growing need for better analytical skills among employees performing Game IP-related tasks by offering a training course that teaches them how to efficiently use internal game data.

Since expertise is not something one can develop in a week or a month, employees continually take on new challenges and attempt to grow professionally in their respective position. To support their ambitions, NC University not only runs training courses, but also encourages employees to become lifelong learners by pursuing continuous training. As an example, NC University provides a perfect environment for self-directed learning in the workplace, with employees taking learning into their own hands and growing from it on both personal and professional levels.

<Learn-On> is NC University’s special program; it teaches participants how to build a professional growth plan, set feasible goals and reach them over 6 months. NC University not only provides a learning platform but also helps participants not to lose motivation.

Besides long-term training, NC University offers a myriad of opportunities to gain knowledge that employees can apply in their jobs right away. For this, they can browse through the list of monthly courses on learning platform and choose one that suits their needs. In the future, NC University plans to diversify the platform by adding more courses in various fields.

Being a passionate advocate of self-directed learning, NC University also encourages all employees to attend workshops and conferences as well as to develop their expertise by participating in certificate programs.

Social interaction has proved to play an important role in learning. In certain cases, structured and systematic learning can be much less efficient compared to the learning through interaction. That is why NC University aims to build a unique social learning environment where employees can freely share their knowledge and experiences with each other.

Based on the theory of social learning, the <Learn-Us> program encourages mutual learning. By introducing this program, NC University aims to create a non-formal environment where attendees can learn from each other rather than simply listen to lectures and browse through course materials.

The concept of a critical point can be seen in many sciences. In physics, there is a critical point when water changes its state—once the temperature rises above 100℃, the water becomes a gas. The concept of a critical point in one’s career is rather similar; once employees reach a critical point in their careers, they are ready to move forward. NC University will further develop training programs, offering professional support to employees when they look for the opportunity to advance or feel like they have reached a dead end in their careers.
