The city said it held the "2026 Competency-Building Training for New Public Officials" for 52 new public officials at the Dong-A Socio Holdings Talent Development Institute from October 22 to 23, a two-day, one-night program.

The training was organized to help officials appointed since the second half of last year learn the basic qualities expected of public servants and adapt smoothly to the organization.

The program was tailored to participants and included outside experts. Key topics included proper drafting of official documents, effective work communication with supervisors, and preventing job burnout. It focused on improving the practical skills needed in public service and communication within the organization.

A team-building program was also held to foster bonds among colleagues and develop collaboration skills.

Through a range of activities, the new public officials communicated with one another and strengthened their sense of belonging as members of the organization.

Sangju Mayor An Jaemin said, "I hope this training will provide a solid foundation for new public officials taking their first steps in public service," and urged them to "move forward together toward Sangju's future, dreaming of ideals and turning them into reality."

Sangju City plans to use the training to help new public officials adapt to the organization and strengthen their capabilities so they can provide administrative services trusted by residents.

It remains to be seen whether training that improves new public officials' practical skills and ability to adapt to the organization will lead to stronger resident-centered administrative services.
