Handling Heavy Objects, Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems, Vibration and Noise Measurement, etc.

POSCO Pohang Steelworks operates a national technical qualification training center within the plant to support employees in acquiring national technical certifications.

A specialized instructor at POSCO Pohang Steelworks is conducting hydraulic training for new employees.

The national technical qualification exams for Equipment Maintenance Engineer and Mechanical Maintenance Industrial Engineer, held three times a year, are essential certification tests that require technical expertise in equipment maintenance, which is crucial for steelworks facility management.

To help employees prepare for the practical portion of these exams, Pohang Steelworks temporarily operates its regular maintenance technology training space as a national technical qualification training center, encouraging all employees of POSCO Group and partner companies to use the facility.

At the training center, all types of education in the field of equipment maintenance are available, including handling heavy objects, hydraulics and pneumatics, vibration and noise measurement, welding, and cutting.

For the second round of the national technical qualification exam, the training center will be open for four weeks from the 15th until August 13, with a dedicated maintenance technology instructor providing on-site coaching during the operation period.

In the first Equipment Maintenance Engineer qualification exam, many employees from POSCO and its affiliates, including POSCO Future M, POSCO PS Tech, POSCO PR Tech, and POSCO PH Solution, successfully passed the practical test after preparing at the training center.

Kim Sejin, Deputy General Manager of the Steelmaking Equipment Department, who obtained the Equipment Maintenance Engineer certification, said, "There are not many opportunities to practice for the practical exam, but I was able to prepare at the company training center and receive help from instructors, which made it easier to earn the certification. The knowledge and skills I gained while preparing for the exam have also been very helpful in managing on-site equipment."

Jung Sehan, Manager of the Equipment Technology Department, who is in charge of operating the training center and providing education, said, "Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in requests for practical training to obtain national technical certifications among employees. The Equipment Technology Department will continue to provide basic maintenance training and offer the training center for national technical qualification preparation, supporting the improvement of maintenance capabilities for all employees of POSCO, its affiliates, and partner companies."

Pohang Steelworks continues to promote win-win growth activities that support the competency development of employees from POSCO, its affiliates, and partner companies, while also enhancing the quality of maintenance work to improve productivity and profitability.
