College students and other job-seekers participate in a culture & art program, sponsored by GS Caltex, to take time out to heal their tired minds and bodies and give mentoring.

GS Caltex has chosen its manpower as the most important source of organizational competitiveness. To this end, the refinery company offers full support for staff members’ growth ranging from employment to improving of job performances.

GS Caltex has minimized factors ranging from paper applications and interviews in order to select manpower based on performance. In presenting paper applications, applicants’ grades in scholastic achievements were deleted from common qualification standards, while guidelines for foreign language records were also abolished in 2016. The steps may be construed as the company’s focus on whether applicants are armed with fundamental requirements to succeed in their job.

The refinery company has expanded an internship program, which made its debut in the departments of natural sciences and engineering in 2015, to also include humanities courses. GS Caltex has strengthened the verifying of duty performances. One of the projects each department will implement each year will be assigned during the internship period and be evaluated.

GS Caltex has been cultivating manpower through systematic career development and educational programs. Freshmen employees undergo a four-week orientation program.

The program comprises mangers’ special lectures and CEO’s meetings to facilitate communication between seniors and juniors. Each freshmen employee is put to each job after undergoing a on-the-job training program in the field for more than two months.

GS Caltex’s education program consists of job competency education, each strata leadership education, coaching/mentoring, and gifted manpower development. In particular, job competency education course deals with not only common job competency, but also each business’ specialized job competency segments in a systematic fashion.

GS Caltex’s Diverse Social Contribution Activities

GS Caltex is conducting social contribution activities under the catchphrase “A Beautiful World Sharing Energy.”

In particular, GS Caltex Foundation operates the Yeul Maru, the multi-purpose culture and art park in Yeosu.

The foundation built the Yeul Maru at Mt. Mangma and Jangdo area in cooperation with the Yeosu municipal government at a cost of 110 billion won in 2012. The project was designed to enhance Yeosu citizens’ life quality and create regional culture & art infrastructure of Yeosu, the venue of the Expo 2012 Yeosu. The multi-purpose culture and art park has a 1,021-seat grand theater, a 302-seat small theater, an exhibition hall, and a coastal walking path. The park has established itself as a landmark of the South Coast by holding diverse performances and exhibitions.

In a related development, GS Calatex hosted “GS Caltex Hope Energy Camp,” which took place at the YMCA Ecology Education Center in Yeosu from July 14 to July 25. Sixty-three middle school and high school students affiliated with 10 regional children’s centers in the Yeosu area participated in the program.

Participants formed eight small musical instrument bans during the camping period and underwent musical instrument playing lessons from a specialized institution.

They wrapped up the camp by performing a busking in the Sohodong area in Yeosu in the evening of July 25. The camp is an annual program GS Caltex has hosted since 2010.
