LX Hausys 'Interior Academy' Selected as Government-Supported Training Center

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] LX Hausys' interior construction training institution, ‘LX Z:IN Interior Academy,’ announced on the 3rd that it has been selected as a ‘National Human Resources Development Consortium Project Operating Institution’ and will officially begin training specialized construction personnel.

The National Human Resources Development Consortium Project is a program led by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Industrial Human Resources Corporation. It selects workforce development and vocational competency enhancement training institutions operated in the spirit of win-win cooperation between large and small-to-medium enterprises and supports the training costs of these institutions.

Accordingly, from this year, LX Hausys will operate all training courses related to the cultivation of specialized interior construction personnel at the ‘LX Z:IN Interior Academy’ with project funding provided by the government. Participants in the training courses can receive education free of charge without any separate participation fees.

In the first ‘New Construction Workforce Training Course,’ which started the day before and is aimed at the general public interested in interior construction, about 800 people applied for 70 trainee spots, recording a high competition rate of over 11 to 1. Among the applicants, 60% were young people in their 20s and 30s, showing strong interest from the younger generation. The 70 trainees will receive various product and job theory education and field-customized practical training necessary for interior construction, including windows, kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring, over the next three weeks.

Graduates of the course will be connected with LX Hausys’ construction partner companies for employment and, according to their preferences, can work as specialized construction personnel in the domestic interior market.

LX Hausys plans to operate the ‘New Construction Workforce Training Course’ five times this year in March, May, July, September, and November. Recruitment announcements for each training course will be posted two months before the start on the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s vocational training portal HRD-Net and online job portals such as JobKorea. Anyone interested in interior construction can apply regardless of academic background, age, or other conditions. Through this, LX Hausys is expected to alleviate the difficulties faced by small and medium-sized construction partner companies in securing new personnel and contribute to youth job creation by nurturing professional technical personnel who have completed systematic courses.

Meanwhile, the ‘LX Z:IN Interior Academy,’ which opened in December last year, is an educational facility equipped with dormitory accommodations. It plans to operate about 160 training courses annually throughout this year, ranging from new courses for the general public to step-by-step advanced training for employees and partner company staff, nurturing around 3,000 specialized construction personnel.

An LX Hausys official stated, “Since the ‘LX Z:IN Interior Academy’ has been selected as a government-funded joint training center, we will continue to nurture master constructors who contribute to the development of the domestic interior industry by providing the highest quality education.” He added, “Through this, we will provide LX Z:IN’s unique perfect construction services in the domestic interior market and enhance customer satisfaction.”
