[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] LG Display announced on the 8th that it will introduce a 'metaverse platform' for new employee training.

LG Display has created metaverse training centers at four domestic sites (Paju, Gumi, Twin, Magok). These training centers consist of a three-tier networking space with one main hall, five group halls at the intermediate level, and 25 team halls composed of 8 members each.

So far, about 200 new LG Display employees have participated in training programs such as relay missions and mini-games while communicating via video with their peers and exploring major LG Display business sites as avatars in the RPG game-style online virtual metaverse training space.

LG Display plans to conduct metaverse-based training in eight sessions for approximately 900 new employees hired this year. Based on the positive feedback that the metaverse platform was very effective in new employee training, LG Display intends to expand its application to various internal employee training and recruitment programs in the future.

Additionally, in the second half of the year’s new employee training, the curriculum will be upgraded by adding various content such as product exhibition halls, job information, company life tips, executive introductions, and congratulatory messages.

Jang Woojin, head of HRD at LG Display, said, "The metaverse can help MZ generation new employees, who value experience, focus on training, enhance their understanding of and sense of belonging to the company, and build bonds with their peers," adding, "We will introduce various metaverse programs that can increase training effectiveness."
