Coupang explained that the four certifications can be acquired when Coupangmen complete certain periods of service, meet job goals and pass job competency exams. Entry-level Coupangmen are awarded CS Delivery Expert Fresh after passing written and practical job exams.
The approval of the certification system by HRD Korea indicates that Coupangmen are now officially recognized for their expertise in delivery work and services, the company said.
Coupang’s Training Director Nam Ki-young said Coupang has worked on strengthening Coupangmen’s expertise, adding that it will continue supporting their journey in becoming delivery experts.
