The Hanwha Naeil Academy was created as part of the government-led K-New Deal Academy initiative, which is overseen by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resource and the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
The Korean word “naeil” can mean both “tomorrow” and “my job,” reflecting the program’s goal of helping young people prepare for their careers and enter the workforce.
Hanwha said it will share the technical expertise and field experience accumulated by its major affiliates in key industries such as shipbuilding and defense. Several courses will be offered outside the Seoul metropolitan area, including in Busan, South Gyeongsang Province and the Chungcheong region, to expand training opportunities for regional job seekers.
Hanwha Ocean will select 60 participants, Hanwha Ocean Engineering 66 and Hanwha Engine 50. Hanwha Systems will recruit 100 participants each for its defense and ICT programs, while Hanwha Corp., Hanwha Solutions and other affiliates will offer training in marketing and construction.
Hanwha Ocean’s Smart Production Management DX Academy will provide training in digital and AI-based production management at its Geoje shipyard in South Gyeongsang Province.
The three-month course will run from Aug. 10 to Nov. 6, with applications open through July 23. Participants will learn AI-based data management, shipbuilding processes and production optimization, while receiving mentoring from Hanwha Ocean employees.
Other Hanwha affiliates will recruit participants in June and July and operate programs lasting about three months at workplaces across the country.
“The academy will help young people gain practical skills in key future industries,” a Hanwha official said. “We will continue investing in workforce development and supporting their careers.”
