Korean logistics company LX Pantos announced Sunday that its specialized training center for home appliance installers has been officially designated as an accredited academy operator by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, making it eligible for government support.
The designation is part of a state-led initiative, operated by the Labor Ministry and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea, that provides government subsidies to training programs for employees of small and medium-sized enterprises partnered with large corporations to help enhance workforce capabilities.
LX Pantos earned high marks across all evaluation criteria, including program content and infrastructure suitability, the company explained. Following the designation, it will officially launch new programs in May, offering them free of charge to anyone interested in pursuing a career in appliance installation.
“This initiative will help alleviate the staffing challenges faced by our SME partners,” said an official from LX Pantos. “We aim to lead the way in building a cooperative training ecosystem that aligns with our ESG management values.”
Since 2004, the company has operated a 660-square-meter training center at LG Digital Park in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, under the name LX Pantos Last-mile Delivery/Installation Academy, training more than 7,000 installation technicians each year.
The academy features sessions that replicate real-world home environments and offers 24 hands-on, customizable training programs focused on installing products such as TVs, washing machines and air conditioners.
