KORAIL Wins Prime Minister’s Award for AI Training Model, Following Presidential Award for Second Straight Year

[Financial News] Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) won the Prime Minister’s Award at the Public HRD Contest for an artificial intelligence (AI) training model tailored to railway operations.
KORAIL said on the 13th that it had received the Prime Minister’s Award in the curriculum category and a special award in the institutional category at the 44th Public HRD Contest, held on the 12th at the National Human Resources Development Institute in Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province. This marks its second consecutive year of awards, following last year’s Presidential Award in the teaching and learning category.
The annual contest, hosted by the National Human Resources Development Institute, provides a forum for sharing outstanding teaching methods and curricula in the public sector. This year, 41 organizations submitted 59 entries.
KORAIL trained 31 employees with extensive knowledge of railway operations as in-house AI expert instructors and developed a training model connecting course design with hands-on practice and workplace application. About 3,500 employees have completed the program to date, and 94.8% gave a positive response in an evaluation of its workplace applicability.
The special award in the institutional category is presented to organizations that contribute to exchange and cooperation among education and training institutions. Two of the 114 member organizations of the Public-Private Education Development Council were selected, with the KORAIL Human Resources Development Institute recognized for sharing best practices and expanding exchange among educational institutions.
Under its railway AI transformation (AX) roadmap, KORAIL is pursuing digital innovation in five key areas—safety, service, operations, capabilities and infrastructure—and expanding AI training for all employees.
