Busan Transportation Corporation, First Railway Operator Selected for 'Daejung-Sosangsaeng Academy'

Support for Railway Traffic Control Training for Medium and Small Enterprises

First Nationally Supported Project for Railway Professional Education

Busan Transportation Corporation (President Lee Byungjin) announced on the 3rd that its training institution, 'BTC Academy,' has been designated by the Ministry of Employment and Labor as an operating institution for the 'Large-Small Business Win-Win Academy.'

This academy is a program in which excellent training programs conducted by large enterprises for their own employees are opened and shared with mid-sized and small businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees, and the government provides support. It is a new system implemented by the Ministry of Employment and Labor this year to bridge the vocational training gap between large and small businesses.

The corporation received high scores in all evaluation categories, such as training programs to enhance the job competency of small business employees and the adequacy of facilities and equipment, and was the only railway operating institution nationwide to be selected as an operator for the 'Large-Small Business Win-Win Academy.' This is also the first time that a specialized railway training program has been designated as a government-supported project.

BTC Academy was designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in 2012 as a training institution for railway vehicle driver certification, boasting the highest pass rate for the Class 2 electric vehicle driving license skills test. Furthermore, it was designated as a training institution for railway vehicle maintenance in 2019 and for railway traffic control certification in 2024, establishing itself as the leading railway transportation training institution in the southeastern region.

Starting next year, the corporation plans to officially operate the 'Large-Small Business Win-Win Academy - Controller Training Program' for mid-sized and small railway operating institutions. As the program is supported by government funding, participants can receive training free of charge.

Lee Byungjin, President of Busan Transportation Corporation, said, "We expect that operating the Large-Small Business Win-Win Academy program will help alleviate the difficulties of mid-sized and small railway operating institutions that are struggling to secure specialized personnel," and added, "We will develop more diverse and high-quality training programs to not only enhance the job competency of employees at mid-sized and small railway operating institutions but also contribute to the development of the domestic railway industry."
