POSCO Chemical Launches Recruitment for Win-Win Type Furnace Operator Trainees

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] POSCO Chemical is taking steps to support youth employment and promote mutual growth with partner companies by nurturing skilled refractory construction professionals.

Ahead of the training program, POSCO Chemical is recruiting trainees from partner companies and those aspiring to work in the refractory industry. Refractory materials are special substances that can withstand high temperatures, and skilled kiln workers with refractory construction capabilities are essential for the construction and maintenance of steel mills and chemical plants.

Through this training, POSCO Chemical stated that it will support job seekers with professional job training and help secure excellent talent in the refractory industry, including partner companies, thereby practicing its corporate citizenship management philosophy.

Those wishing to apply for the training can register by March 31 through the POSCO Small and Medium Enterprise Consortium education system (educs.posco.co.kr).

Twenty candidates who pass the document screening and interview will begin a three-month training course starting in mid-April. After admission, trainees will start with personality and general education, followed by theoretical and practical training led by highly specialized internal instructors from POSCO Chemical to develop expertise in refractory construction.

The company will cover all training costs during this period and provide a monthly training allowance. Graduates of the training program will receive support for obtaining kiln worker certification and employment at related partner companies, and will be given preferential treatment when applying for POSCO Chemical’s open recruitment.

POSCO Chemical opened the nation’s only kiln training vocational school in 1977 and has contributed to enhancing industry competitiveness and creating jobs by producing over 2,000 refractory professionals to date.
