"Trade Talent Development" POSCO Inter - KITA, Program Underway

POSCO International collaborated with the Korea International Trade Association to conduct a 'Trade Talent Development Program' for about 140 job seekers nationwide throughout July.

The company started this program in 2021 together with the Korea International Trade Association Daegu-Gyeongbuk branch to support job seekers in regional hubs who have relatively limited opportunities to obtain employment information.

They continue to collaborate annually, sharing the goal of nurturing global trade talents and contributing to alleviating youth unemployment through trade practical training and sharing job-seeking tips from current professionals. Last year, the program targeted job seekers in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk and Busan areas, and this year, it expanded to include job seekers in the Seoul metropolitan area with more diverse on-site training content.

The 'Overseas Marketing Competition' and 'Export Simulation' courses, in which 18 company employees participated as mentors, received the most positive feedback during this training. Employee mentors, who are trade experts in their respective fields, shared their experiences from a professional perspective on topics such as selecting export items, establishing marketing strategies, price analysis, and sales presentation techniques.

Fifty-eight outstanding trainees visited the company’s Songdo headquarters for an additional 3-day, 2-night training course, including export sales role-playing. They also experienced industrial field visits, such as touring a logistics warehouse near the lock gate at Incheon Port.

An outstanding trainee who participated in the experience said, “Thanks to POSCO International’s support, it was a very valuable experience and great motivation from a job seeker’s perspective to not only receive theoretical education but also experience the actual trade field.”

A POSCO International representative stated, “As a group of trade experts representing the Republic of Korea, we will take responsibility and continuously nurture global trade talents to help resolve youth unemployment. We will also practice our corporate citizenship management philosophy by leveraging the company’s expertise to contribute to various social issues we face.”
