The government and Hyundai Motor Group are collaborating to train young talent in the field of future mobility. The initiative aims to provide job training in areas such as embedded artificial intelligence (AI) and manufacturing intelligence, supporting young people’s entry into the labor market.
On July 27, Minister of Labor Kim Young-hoon attended the joint entrance ceremony for the Hyundai Motor Group K-New Deal Academy 'HINT' at the Hyundai Group Talent Development Center in Gyeongju, where he congratulated the academy's opening and encouraged the trainees.
The K-New Deal Academy is a program led by large corporations to design and operate vocational training and various programs tailored to specific industries, aimed at enhancing the capabilities of young people and supporting their entry into the job market. Hyundai's HINT supports the growth of youth based on experiences in the future mobility industry.
HINT will operate in seven regions across the country, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju, and Cheongju, with a total of 1,000 participants. Trainees will receive foundational job training, specialized courses, career exploration, and employment support programs. The specialized courses will include embedded AI and manufacturing intelligence, along with field programs such as factory tours and hands-on training.
Before the entrance ceremony, Minister Kim shared lunch with the trainees in the cafeteria, discussing their job search concerns and expectations for the K-New Deal Academy. Kim Yoo-hyun, a representative of the trainees from Ulsan, stated, "My goal is to leverage my mechanical engineering knowledge from university to secure a job in the future mobility sector. I will use this opportunity as a stepping stone for my career advancement."
During the ceremony, Hyundai Motor Group CEO Sung Kim remarked, "The automotive industry is evolving towards electric vehicles and software, and it is crucial to learn and grow in line with these changes. I believe the trainees will develop not only specialized knowledge in future mobility but also problem-solving skills needed in the field."
Minister Kim emphasized, "The K-New Deal Academy is a program that combines the efforts of youth with support from the government and businesses to foster their growth. We will expand the K-New Deal Academy to ensure more companies participate and more young people have access to opportunities."
