Gwangyang City, Recruiting Trainees for POSCO Group Employment Academy

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City is recruiting students for the 2nd POSCO Group Employment Academy.

This project is aimed at supporting trainees seeking employment with the POSCO Group. It was initiated through an agreement between Gwangyang City and POSCO in 2019 and has been underway since last year, providing customized employment capability enhancement for trainees.

The 2nd training session will run from around March to December, offering an intensive 5-day-per-week program over 6 months to prepare for the POSCO Group's public competitive recruitment in the first and second halves of the year.

The curriculum includes basic job skills, on-site training, personality development, and mock interviews, all essential for the POSCO Group's open recruitment process.

Eligibility is for local youth residents aged 18 to 39, regardless of educational background. However, graduates from local high schools will be given preference during trainee selection, and those holding certifications in related fields such as metal, machinery, and electricity may have an advantage.

To ensure fairness and transparency, the city has entrusted the recruitment of trainees to the external professional organization ‘Incruit’. The selection process includes a first round of document screening, a second round of written tests, and a third round of interviews, ultimately selecting 30 candidates.

Youth wishing to participate can apply online from around 10 a.m. on the 11th until midnight on the 22nd.

For more details, inquiries can be made to Gwangyang City Investment and Job Creation Division or the project executing organization, Gwangyang Bay Area Job Project Group.

Moon Byung-joo, head of the Investment and Job Creation Division, stated, “The POSCO Group Employment Academy project supports outstanding local talents to work in regional companies and settle down stably,” adding, “We will create a Gwangyang where youth return through the employment success of all trainees.”
