Addressing Korea's Innovation Skills Gap

“AI fluency is now a global business imperative for achieving meaningful outcomes and boosting workforce productivity,” said Hugo Sarrazin, President and CEO at Udemy. “We remain laser-focused on expanding critical support for our global customers and helping organizations adopt AI with speed and confidence."

“Through this partnership, we are uniquely positioned to deliver integrated, customized reskilling solutions that accelerate the journey to enterprise-wide AI fluency, empowering our clients in Korea to lead in the age of AI,” said Hong-Keun Kim, Executive Vice President, Digital Business Division, at LG CNS.
Part of a Global Expansion Strategy
This alliance follows Udemy's pattern of forging key regional partnerships to scale its enterprise business globally, similar to agreements in Japan, Brazil, Chile, and South Africa. The partnership also includes plans to expand into additional Asia-Pacific markets, leveraging LG CNS's regional presence.
The collaboration represents a significant step in localizing and scaling enterprise learning solutions, aiming to equip the Korean workforce with the skills necessary to compete in an AI-driven global economy.
