Computer Training In 1995, we launched an unprece-
dented free program aimed at helping two million
Koreans gain a solid foundation in basic computer skills.
In 2001, we added an online component to the popular
program that teaches everything from Windows and
word processing to spreadsheets and website building,
bringing the graduate total to 2.3 million by year-end.
Creativity Challenge Expanding a program we launched
back in 1997, we joined forces with Korea’s Patent
Administration in 2001 to establish the National Students’
Creativity Olympiad. Aimed at primary, middle, and high
school youth, the competition encourages teams of five
to “think outside the box” to find creative approaches to
problems and challenges. The finalists are expected to
participate in the Destination ImagiNation Global Finals
in the U.S. in 2002.
At Samsung Electronics, corporate citizenship is not an afterthought. It is
an integral part of our culture that involves tasks as diverse as teaching
word processing, supporting computer training and scholarships for the
disabled, and developing programs for our more than 15,000 volunteers.
And the smiles we get in return make it all worthwhile.
“Serving always inspires
the greatest reward of all: smiles ”
