'Digital Transformation' LG Uplus to Train 100 Cloud Experts Within the Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Joesulgina] LG Uplus announced on the 6th that it will conduct specialized cloud platform training for its employees to successfully complete the company-wide digital transformation.

LG Uplus is accelerating DX across all areas including service development, operations, and quality management, extensively utilizing cloud platforms in AI, big data, and media-related fields. To enhance expertise, the company plans to support employees in obtaining cloud certification and aims to produce more than 100 objectively certified experts within the year.

The cloud platform training, newly established in March this year, is an educational program designed to improve cloud utilization skills of global companies such as Google’s GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and Amazon’s AWS (Amazon Web Services). The training runs for 4 to 6 weeks, covering basic cloud platform usage concepts, company-specific application cases, and future strategies.

The online training is divided into four courses?▲Basic Training, ▲Fundamental Training, ▲Executive Training, and ▲Advanced Training?allowing employees to choose according to their capabilities, levels, and positions. For the advanced training, the number of participants is limited to a small group to provide high-level offline practical sessions, aiming to cultivate experts in a short period.

About 700 employees from departments closely related to cloud platforms such as service development, IT, quality management, network, and business strategy are prioritized for training, with plans to expand to new business product planning and technical support personnel. Over 200 employees have completed the training as of last month.

LG Uplus does not limit capability development to specific development departments or positions but also provides training for company executives and offers opportunities for partner company employees to participate as part of mutual growth.

LG Uplus’s systematic company-wide effort to cultivate cloud experts is aimed at leading digital innovation in rapidly changing market environments by utilizing cloud platforms in various fields such as new media businesses like AR and VR, online subscription channels, and big data analysis.

Using cloud platforms allows for easy testing of new technologies on the cloud without purchasing separate equipment, servers, or installing solutions when launching new services, thereby shortening service development time.

Additionally, the pay-as-you-go pricing structure means lower initial development investment costs, and it enables rapid improvement by immediately reflecting customer feedback.

As LG Uplus plans to use cloud platforms for most new businesses in the future, it intends to recruit and nurture trainees through a selective process and establish incentive systems for obtaining certifications to support many employees in becoming experts in a short time.

Lee Giwon, Head of Talent Development at LG Uplus, said, “We have carefully prepared the training program to enable customized learning according to employees’ cloud utilization skills. Through digital transformation, we will enhance employee capabilities to innovate work methods and swiftly discover new business opportunities.”
