Additionally, we have enhanced our management and professional skill courses. Since 2020, we have implemented internal lecturer training and courses, established internal reading clubs and technical salons, and fostered a culture of organizational learning. Furthermore, recognizing the growing demand for personalized and digital learning methods, we have introduced a comprehensive learning resource platform. This empowers our colleagues to independently tailor their learning courses to meet their individual needs.
