ALEPH is a hands-on AI transformation (AX) training program that is part of the Ministry of Employment and Labor's K-New Deal Academy initiative. The program focuses on developing practical capabilities to apply AI in enterprise infrastructure operations. The name ALEPH embodies the goal of cultivating the ability to adapt flexibly to changes and to persistently solve problems based on AI application competencies.

The training will be conducted in person on weekdays from August this year until November next year in Daejeon, Daegu, and Busan. Trainees will carry out assignments closely resembling real corporate environments, such as AI-based network operations, security policy design, enterprise infrastructure construction, anomaly analysis, and incident response. Eligible applicants for ALEPH are unemployed youth aged between 15 and 34. The entire course fee, valued at approximately KRW 19.6 million, is fully funded by the government, and trainees who meet the requirements can receive a training allowance of up to KRW 500,000 per month. Applications are open until August 10.

This program goes beyond theory and certification-focused education by emphasizing practical projects and portfolio building. SK Telecom plans to incorporate real-world cases accumulated in the AI network and security fields into the curriculum, and will support mentoring and project reviews involving current professionals. Through this, trainees will be able to understand real industry challenges and develop the ability to design AI-driven solutions.

Kim Guyoung, Head of Enterprise Business at SK Telecom, stated, "As AI is expanding into core areas of business, the importance of practical skills to apply and operate AI in real work is growing. Through ALEPH, SK Telecom will support the development of AX professionals in AI security and network fields and contribute to accelerating AI transformation in the industry."
