Hyundai Mobis is enhancing its collaboration with partners by expanding its focus on developing software (SW) talent, aiming to strengthen the competitiveness of its automotive parts supply chain.
On August 25, Hyundai Mobis announced that it is operating a software talent development program called the 'Mobius Bootcamp' to support the recruitment of talent from approximately 2,100 domestic and international partners.
This initiative comes as the automotive industry rapidly shifts towards software-defined vehicles (SDVs), autonomous driving, and electrification, increasing the importance of software capabilities. The program was established to assist partners facing challenges in securing specialized talent.
Since last year, Hyundai Mobis has conducted a six-month mobility software training course, resulting in the graduation of over 270 participants from the first Mobius Bootcamp in the first half of this year. The program saw a competitive application rate of 17 to 1, with some graduates securing employment with partner companies even before completing the course.
The training focuses on enhancing practical skills applicable in the automotive software industry. It includes global automotive software standard education, hands-on projects, and employment consulting. The curriculum and resources were developed in consultation with partners to align with industry needs.
Looking ahead, Hyundai Mobis is considering expanding the Mobius Bootcamp's training scope to include artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. This move aims to establish a talent development system that encompasses various technological fields, in line with the trend of advancing the future mobility industry centered on software and AI.
Hyundai Mobis continues to support its partners in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and technology development. This includes assistance with carbon reduction, safety equipment establishment, ESG certification, consulting, joint technology development, patent applications, and funding for technology development.
In the past three years, Hyundai Mobis has invested a total of 180 billion won in supporting the development of new products and technologies for domestic partners, with over 850 joint patent applications filed. Based on these co-growth efforts, Hyundai Mobis has been recognized as the top company in the co-growth index evaluation for seven consecutive years.
