The award ceremony took place on the 11th at the "Human Resources Development Conference" held at COEX Magok in Seoul.

The "Company Qualification Government Recognition Program" is a system under which the government officially recognizes outstanding qualifications that companies operate on their own to improve employees' job skills. The background to this ministerial award also reflected the government's recognition of SK AX's program under this system for its evaluation expertise and field applicability.
SK AX has been operating "AI Literacy" and "AI Bootcamp" through a generative AI competency certification program it developed in-house. Among them, "AI Literacy" was recognized by the government as a Level 2 qualification for generative AI use, while "AI Bootcamp" was recognized by the government as a Level 1 qualification for generative AI use. This recognition is the first and only government-recognized case in Korea in the field of generative AI competency certification.
This case is significant in that SK AX's self-developed program received official state recognition. In addition, it raises expectations that a practical generative AI competency verification system could spread to other companies and the broader industry.
SK AX operates the two education programs with distinct roles. AI Literacy is aimed at all employees regardless of job function and seeks to establish basic AI literacy, covering the scope of generative AI capabilities needed in daily work.
AI Literacy uses education and assessments for generative AI capabilities related to document writing, data structuring, spreadsheet use, and basic programming.
AI Bootcamp is designed as a program for cultivating AI specialists. The course includes building customized AI agents linked to internal data, and these customized AI agents have autonomous work-execution capabilities. The goal of AI Bootcamp is to train AI experts who can be deployed immediately in industrial settings.
The latest AI models are commonly built into both programs. In addition, both programs automatically provide trainee competency assessments and automatically deliver customized feedback for each employee.
SK AX is working to secure the reliability of AI utilization education and competency assessments, and has established a management system to enhance the fairness and transparency of certification results. The management system reflects the safety, reliability, and transparency principles of the AI Basic Act, which took effect in January, and in the question-setting and evaluation process, measures to minimize bias are applied while the final results are handled through human review and management.
SK AX is promoting the establishment of a responsible AI use culture with the goal of AI innovation across all business operations. To that end, it is guiding all employees on marking generative AI outputs and is also guiding all employees to comply with ethical guidelines.
SK AX is continuously promoting employee training and also continuously cultivating specialized talent. At the same time, it operates AI Literacy and AI Bootcamp.
It is also supporting systematic education by job function and AI utilization competency, and it also operates the "SK AI Competency Model (SK AI Qualification System)." Through this, it is promoting AI competency development and a certification system tailored to the workplace together.
SK AX plans to expand its in-house AI competency certification system to general companies and educational institutions, and also plans to expand the use of the certification system across industries. The company is presenting a direction to broaden the certification system it has operated internally so that it can be used across the industry.
Kim Min-hwan, head of SK AX HRX Promotion, said this award reflects recognition of the credibility and field applicability of the AI competency certification platform it built in advance. He added that the company will continue to develop the system beyond supporting employees' AI competency growth into an AI competency certification system that is trusted and used in industrial settings.
