SK Ecoplant has begun training talent in semiconductors and artificial intelligence, the areas at the core of its future business competitiveness.
The company said on Sept. 22 that it ran a 12-day onboarding program for its High-Tech Junior Talent recruits from Sept. 7 to Sept. 22. All 68 new hires selected in June to strengthen the company's AI infrastructure business took part in the program. All of them will be assigned to the high-tech division.
The course was designed to give the recruits a deep understanding of the semiconductor industry and AI, along with practical skills, so they can settle into their roles early. The program was built around three pillars: improving understanding of semiconductor job functions and work sites, strengthening AI-based work skills, and internalizing the company's vision and corporate culture. Alongside hands-on exercises applying AI to real work settings to raise productivity, the recruits visited a semiconductor site in Yongin on Sept. 22 to test what they had learned in the field.
The program also set aside time for the chief executive to sit down and speak directly with the new hires. Kim Young-sik, president of SK Ecoplant, met the recruits and shared the company's business direction and growth strategy. The CEO also encouraged them, saying that those who joined through a highly competitive hiring process should grow into skilled, hands-on professionals and build the company's sustainable future business together.
An SK Ecoplant official said the onboarding program was designed to help the new hires play important roles in core business portfolios such as semiconductors and AI infrastructure. "We plan to continue developing talent through field-centered training and by internalizing AX (AI transformation)-based ways of working," the official said.
