The induction program at Hanla Cement and Asea Cement is designed to accommodate the unique preferences of the MZ generation, moving away from traditional lecture-based training to more interactive, field-experience activities. A total of 25 participants will undergo not only a company-wide induction program but also department-specific On-the-Job Training (OJT).

This year's induction training emphasizes activities that promote natural engagement and participation, considering the MZ generation's comfort with active and communicative learning environments. The program includes site visits to production plants, cultural tours, empathy-enhancing workshops, and cultural performances, aiming to foster communication among team members. Both companies plan to apply this induction model to various internal training and events, reflecting a commitment to adapting educational content to the evolving workforce demographic.
