Hyun Jung-eun, Chairwoman of Hyundai Group, emphasized that "the core of all values is 'people'" and stated that "talent management must be actively pursued."

On the 21st, Chairwoman Hyun attended a town hall meeting commemorating the opening of the 'Future Talent Academy' held at Hyundai Elevator's Chungju Smart Campus. She promoted talent development and win-win cooperation with Korea National University of Transportation and Korea Elevator University, donating scholarships and elevators for practical training.

About 20 participants, including Chairwoman Hyun, Hyundai Elevator, subsidiaries, partner companies, and representatives from Korea National University of Transportation and Korea Elevator University, discussed responsibilities of the ‘Future Talent Academy’ for nurturing talent in the elevator industry, talent development and organizational culture direction for seven job tracks (including sales), talent recruitment and development for subsidiaries and partners (installation, service, purchasing), and plans for talent cultivation through corporate-university win-win cooperation.

In her greeting, Chairwoman Hyun said, "Hyundai Elevator aims to place 'people' at the center of all values," adding, "We will move forward as a sustainable company together with our employees who make our products, customers who use them, and shareholders who invest in our company's future."

She continued, "No matter how excellent the talent we recruit is, if we cannot provide a direction to move forward, the organization cannot create synergy," and stated, "The Future Talent Academy will be the foundation of ‘talent management,’ not just talent recruitment."

Hyundai Elevator plans to secure competitiveness in the future elevator market by selecting and nurturing top-level talent and establishing a leading organizational culture. The company opened the ‘Future Talent Academy’ to develop win-win cooperation with Korea National University of Transportation, Korea Elevator University, and partner companies.

The Hyundai Elevator ‘Future Talent Academy’ consists of three classrooms, two parts practice rooms, and four installation practice rooms. It operates educational programs covering the entire industry, including specialized elevator technical training as well as sales, manufacturing, purchasing, quality, and research and development. Additionally, as the number one company in Korea, Hyundai Elevator pursues social responsibility by promoting recruitment linkage and curriculum development in cooperation with universities and local communities.

Cho Jae-cheon, CEO of Hyundai Elevator, said, "The technical training center, which opened in 2015 in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, has been newly renovated as the ‘Future Talent Academy’ with the relocation to Chungju Smart Campus," adding, "We will expand cooperation with universities and local communities to become a cradle for nurturing K-Elevator talent."

Meanwhile, after the town hall meeting, Chairwoman Hyun held a luncheon meeting with executives and employees, visited the Customer Care Center, R&D Center, the test tower under construction, factory buildings, and dormitories, encouraging employees and conducting on-site management.
