Gyeonggi Content Agency Partners with The Sandbox to Foster Metaverse Talent
The Gyeonggi Content Agency (GCA) is teaming up with global metaverse platform The Sandbox to recruit participants for the “2023 Northern Gyeonggi Cultural Creation Hub: Metaverse Creator Training,” aimed at cultivating specialized experts in the field of the metaverse.

A space for creators within the metaverse
The training program focuses on nurturing creators who will be active in The Sandbox Metaverse platform. Participants will be trained in The Sandbox’s metaverse content creation tools, namely VoxEdit and Game Maker.
The Sandbox also plans to allow anyone and everyone to publish and offer the content they create in the LAND — the platform’s virtual real estate space for interacting and showcasing creativity — by the end of this year.
“The Northern Gyeonggi Cultural Creation Hub is a regional hub for support and entrepreneurship in design and content convergence. Through various support programs that implement education, mentoring, and startup funds, we are taking the lead in promoting a startup ecosystem with design and storytelling,” said Tack Yong-seok, director of the GCA.
About the training program
Applications for the program can be submitted through The Sandbox’s official Naver Cafe and the Gyeonggi Cultural Creation Hub’s online portal until August 27. The opportunity is open to anyone interested in pursuing a career as a metaverse creator.
The free training course will take place over eight weeks, from September 2 to October 27, at the Northern Gyeonggi Cultural Creation Hub located in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province. Training sessions will be held every Saturday, the GCA explained.
“Since 2022, we have collaborated with partners both online and offline to train over 500 creators. We will expand offline education in regions that have had relatively fewer opportunities for metaverse training,” said Cindy Lee, CEO of The Sandbox Korea.
