POSCO will operate three job training programs for the next five years, to provide field experience to 5,500 jobseekers and those who want to start their own business, the steel giant said Thursday.

In addition, the company said those who finished the program with a good performance will be given jobs at POSCO and its affiliates.

For 1,000 jobseekers, POSCO will expand its existing artificial intelligence and big data academy into a three-month program. At the academy, they will learn statistics and big data analysis and will be paid 1 million won per month.

Also, the company will provide field experiences to 4,000 jobseekers by running a three-week program working with POSCO employees. POSCO said the program will be focused on providing "real working experience" which is hard to attain through educations at universities.

For 500 of those seeking to start their own business, POSCO will operate an education program on business planning, finance, investment and other capacities required for entrepreneurs. For those who passed the feasibility study after the program, the company will provide an office and investment.

"After Chairman Choi Jeong-woo took office, POSCO has been making efforts to grow with society, and the programs are in line with POSCO's new vision of 'With POSCO,'" a POSCO official said.
