Problem

To counter China's technology catch-up, Korean semiconductor companies urgently need to upskill their existing workforce in advanced processes (GAA, HBM, advanced packaging). However, HR teams spend an average of 3-5 hours per employee manually assessing individual skill levels and assigning tailored training programs. At scale — hundreds of employees per year — this cost reaches tens of millions of won (~tens of thousands of USD).

Solution

Provides self-assessment quizzes based on semiconductor role-specific skill maps, automatically matches results to publicly available courses from KSIA, KAIST, POSTECH, and other institutions, and delivers a team-level skill-gap heatmap dashboard to HR.

Target: HR teams and technical training managers at mid-sized semiconductor design/manufacturing/equipment companies with 50-500 employees
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription at 15,000 KRW (~$11) per user/month (minimum 20 users), 15% discount for Annual Subscription, custom skill map design setup fee of 2M KRW (~$1,500)
Ecosystem Role: Education
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
