KT Holds Online Graduation Ceremony for Able School 1st Cohort Trainees
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] KT announced on the 22nd that the first cohort of Able School trainees completed a total of 840 hours of training over approximately six months and held a graduation ceremony online with trainees from across the country in attendance.
During the training period, 80% of the trainees who were given the opportunity to take the AI practical certification AIFB exam obtained the Associate certification, the intermediate track of AIFB. Additionally, more than 20% of the first cohort trainees have been finally accepted in KT recruitment, and after graduation, recruitment connections will be actively made with KT group companies such as KT DS, KT Cloud, lolab, AI One Team affiliated companies, and leading startups.
KT Able School is a digital talent development program operated by KT and sponsored by the Ministry of Employment and Labor to enhance young people's employment competitiveness and create jobs in new business fields. The training is conducted in two courses: the ‘AI Developer Track’ to train AI service developers and the ‘DX Consultant Track’ leading the digital industry.
KT is selecting 1,200 trainees annually through regional headquarters nationwide to improve the digital capabilities and employment competitiveness of students outside the metropolitan area who lack opportunities for digital technology education such as AI, aiming to nurture a total of 3,600 digital talents by 2024. KT also plans to hire 10% of graduates from each cohort and is making efforts to cooperate with other companies to expand employment opportunities for trainees.
