LG Chem said on the 11th that it held a graduation ceremony for the first cohort of its K-New Deal Academy program, "Let's Grow with LG Chem," at its Hwachi Training Center in Yeosu, South Jeolla Province.

"Let's Grow with LG Chem" is a job-focused training program that helps young people develop practical skills required in the workplace and prepare for employment. About 150 people took part in the first cohort, completing 12 weeks of practical training covering topics from understanding the chemical industry value chain to report writing, data analysis, and AI applications. LG Chem plans to train a total of 200 people this year.

LG Chem employees, including National Masters of Quality, took part in the training as instructors. In particular, AI training using real-world work cases helped participants develop the skills to apply AI in industrial settings.

LG Chem brought in about 130 experts from various fields, including quality, operations, facilities, marketing, and sales, as instructors. They helped participants plan their careers and prepare for employment through one-on-one mentoring and mock interviews.

The curriculum was also linked to the company's internal certification system, including coaching, Green Belt (GB), and artificial intelligence transformation (AX) expert certifications. Participants assessed their capabilities through assignments and evaluations.

A LG Chem representative said, "Our in-house experts directly provided practical training in job skills, AI applications, and data analysis," adding, "We hope the participants will grow into talents who lead future industries, drawing on their understanding of industrial settings and AI capabilities."
