On Monday, May 26, Korea University Business School held the entrance ceremony for the “Korea Zinc and Affiliates Leadership Academy” in Room 301 of Hyundai Motor Hall. Jointly organized by KUBS and Korea Zinc to nurture future leaders, the program has enrolled 29 participants from Korea Zinc and its affiliated companies. 

The ceremony was attended by KUBS Dean Eonsoo Kim and Kwon In Dae, Head of the Human Resources Management Division at Korea Zinc, among other officials. The event included a welcoming address, a program introduction, and participant self-introductions. In his welcome speech, Mr. Kwon stated, “Just like metals that withstand high temperatures and pressures to become high-purity products, we need leaders who grow through trial and error. I hope this Leadership Academy serves as an opportunity to develop the kind of leadership demanded by our times.” Dean Kim added, “A true leader is not just a figure of authority but a strategic thinker who envisions the future. I hope the spirit of ‘Keep reading, keep learning’ will come to life here at Korea University.” 

The Korea Zinc and Affiliates Leadership Academy is designed around an action-learning-based curriculum, built on a deep understanding of the group’s history, mission, core values, and business model. Over the course of seven months and four educational sessions, participants will systematically strengthen their leadership capabilities as well as gain practical business insights.

KUBS plans to continue expanding its collaboration with the business sector through customized corporate education programs, reinforcing its role as a leader in practical management education.
