Schneider Electric Korea said on Feb. 3 it revamped the Academy’s 2026 curriculum and opened new courses on data centres and transformers.

The Schneider Electric Academy, launched in 2007, has run practice-focused technical training for industrial sites.

More than 2,000 people took part last year, the company said, marking the largest annual number of trainees since the Academy’s establishment. Based on that, this year’s training programme will expand to 36 courses across three fields: industry, automation and electrical.

This year’s programme offers hands-on training covering smart factory and smart building solutions, and the broader electrical and industrial automation fields, including the data centre, semiconductor and EV battery industries. Reflecting trends in the spread of AI and data centres and advances in power infrastructure, it has added new courses titled "Data Centre Solution – Design and Application" and "Transformer".

Jang-ik Son (손장익), director in charge of the Schneider Electric Academy, said: "As power infrastructure and industrial systems are changing rapidly due to the increase in data centres and advances in industrial facilities, the importance of capabilities to implement these reliably on site is growing." He said: "Under a technology direction centred on electrification, automation and digitalisation, Schneider Electric operates the Academy programme so customers and partners can understand and apply these changes in the field."
