Asia Pacific Women’s Information Network Center (APWINC) was established in November 1996 at Sookmyung Women’s University to promote gender equality and empower women’s potential and skills in the field of Information and Communication Technology(ICT) in Asia and the Pacific region.

APWINC has made various efforts to play a pioneer role for women’s informatization by conducting research, field surveys, education and training, as well as conferences, workshops, and seminars in gender & ICT.

It collaborates with international organizations, governmental organizations and NGOs to develop ICT-related projects for women.

Dream-wings is a free online learning portal run by Gyeonggi Women’s Development Center – GWDC (www.womenpro.or.kr). It offers e-learning services and over 300 courses in office work, healthcare, social welfare, IT, foreign languages and hobbies. Dream wings-supports women’s career development, including finding a job or starting a new business. It started off in 2004 as a local website built for women living in Gyeonggi Province. Based on the research conducted by Samsung SDS, GWDC created a master plan offering e-learning services to women who have experienced an extensive period of career breaks. A year later, GWDC opened the online Gyeonggi Women Career Development Center, Korea’s first-ever free e-learning service for women. It began to offer nation-wide services in 2011. This year, GWDC introduced a mobile version of the portal – Smart Dream-wings. Focused primarily on IT education, Dream-wings has expanded the scope of its services into total career development support by adding diagnostic services (e.g. competency diagnosis and employability diagnosis) and support for job placement and business start-up. The initiative is fully funded by the government.
