Hyundai Mobis is collaborating with partners to nurture excellent talent in mobility software (SW) as part of its initiative to expand the mobility ecosystem. The plan is to support the SW capabilities of partners through intensive education and practical training related to mobility SW, while also creating a win-win scenario that connects partners and job seekers, providing opportunities for hiring practical talent.
Hyundai Mobis announced on the 21st that it is recruiting participants for the first session of the 'MOBIUS Bootcamp' aimed at nurturing mobility SW talent. The 'bootcamp' is an educational program that trains software developers in a short, intensive format. The name 'MOBIUS' embodies the meaning of leading a virtuous cycle in the mobility ecosystem with partners, like the 'Möbius strip' that connects without boundaries.
Hyundai Mobis operates a SW recruitment-related track in collaboration with major universities. In addition, it has established a variety of systems to nurture SW talent, including the largest monetary prize SW algorithm competition in the country, which includes students and the general public, and a SW hackathon competition to find excellent talent among university students.
This bootcamp focuses on horizontally expanding the SW vocational training know-how that Hyundai Mobis has accumulated over the years to major partners. From the perspective of partners, the demand for SW talent is growing due to the impending transition to future mobility, but it is relatively difficult to establish an in-house training system.
In the first bootcamp, human resources and technology personnel from 15 participating partners of Hyundai Mobis gathered to brainstorm on discovering project-based practical assignments that reflect issues in the partner's field. They will also participate directly in the document screening process, being involved in selecting candidates that meet their respective needs.
The recruitment target for the bootcamp includes university students currently in their graduation semester or graduates from relevant automotive and software departments across the country, as well as employees currently working in relevant SW roles at partner companies. A total of 300 people will be recruited, including 200 job seekers and 100 current employees. Job seekers can apply on the Hyundai Mobis MOBIUS Bootcamp recruitment page until the end of August, while applications from current employees will be received separately. In consideration of future employment connections, regional recruitment and personnel distribution will also be conducted based on the workplaces of participating partners in the bootcamp.
The training course will proceed with a curriculum of about six months, which includes theoretical classes that encompass common SW training and mobility-specific SW learning processes, assessments based on practical project scenarios, and hands-on practice in virtual environments. It consists of beginner education in mobility such as automotive structure and automotive SW engineering, a common SW program that covers programming languages and operating systems, a mobility SW specialty course that deals with the automotive field's international standard platform AUTOSAR, and practical project scenarios based on real industry situations.
Even after completion, participants can retake the educational content for up to 24 months, and follow-up management, such as issuing comprehensive capability reports, will continue. Job-seeking participants will be offered guaranteed job opportunities with partner companies that have excellent trainees, along with employment support consulting, including interview and portfolio management. Those currently employed will receive career path coaching related to the SW development process.
