On May 21, Korea Zinc announced that it will participate as the first private company in the "Soldier Encouragement Tomorrow PASS" project, a self-development initiative for soldiers jointly promoted by the Ministry of National Defense and The Korea Economic Daily. The company plans to support the operation of an AI certification program for soldiers of the First Army Corps.

This program is designed to enable soldiers to receive systematic education during their military service, ranging from basic understanding of AI and practical application training to acquiring the nationally accredited AI Certificate (AICE).

It is a public-private partnership project operated in four areas: reading, health, certification, and career support. The "License PASS" program, in which Korea Zinc participates, aims to strengthen competencies in advanced fields such as AI and drones.

Jung Mokyung, President of Sustainability Management at Korea Zinc, said, "It is meaningful to be able to help soldiers use their military service as a time for growth and preparation for the future."

Han Gisung, Lieutenant General and Commander of the First Army Corps, said, "Providing opportunities for soldiers to develop their AI capabilities will be a great source of support and encouragement."
