[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Kyowon Group announced on the 9th that it will expand the implementation of the ‘Global Rookie’ and ‘Job Experts Job高 (Jobgo)’ systems for nurturing future talents.

The Global Rookie system is designed to cultivate experts with global capabilities in preparation for overseas business expansion. Through global job training, language education, and regional academic research necessary for overseas work, it aims to nurture future talents equipped with global business skills and mindset.

Over the past three months, Kyowon Group selected promising young talents through recommendations and evaluations from each business division. These individuals will intensively study language skills and global business required for local overseas operations and strengthen their expertise by undertaking challenges in the global market.

Additionally, Kyowon Group is actively fostering the next-generation leaders who will drive the company’s sustainable growth. The group recently selected 110 key internal job roles and chose candidates for development in each role. The candidates are mainly practical workers at CEL2~4 levels (Assistant Manager to Deputy General Manager) with potential.

The selected talents will enhance their job competencies through job-specific training and coaching from senior leaders. Kyowon Group explained that they plan to support their growth into leaders with job expertise through internal projects, task force (TF) activities, and in-house instructor support.

Kyowon Group’s talent development programs stem from Chairman Jang Pyungsun’s philosophy, who has always emphasized that “people are the true competitiveness.” Chairman Jang is known for investing in employee capabilities under the belief that “companies that do not hesitate to invest in people even in difficult times are the ones that can survive as competitive companies.” The group added that the expansion of the Global Rookie and Job Experts Job高 (Jobgo) systems is a representative example of Chairman Jang’s talent philosophy.

A Kyowon Group official stated, “We will continue to invest generously so that everyone can improve their capabilities in their respective positions,” and added, “We will continuously strengthen various talent development systems to realize the value of employees and the company growing together.”
