Krafton said on the 8th that it will recruit trainees for the second half of this year for its digital talent training program "Krafton Jungle."
This recruitment covers three tracks: SW-AI Lab (Jungle) 13th cohort, Game Lab 6th cohort, and Game Tech Lab 4th cohort. SW-AI Lab (Jungle) focuses on training AI-native developers, Game Lab focuses on training original game creators, and Game Tech Lab focuses on training hands-on game programmers centered on game engines.
Applicants can choose the track they want based on their interests and growth direction. Applications will be accepted from the 8th to July 5 through the official Krafton Jungle website.
Krafton Jungle is a talent training program operated based on the "SW Academy Jungle" course of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). Starting with the first Krafton Jungle cohort in Oct. 2022, it added and has operated the Game Lab and Game Tech Lab courses, with more than 700 people completing them to date. As of the day, about 150 trainees are continuing their studies at the Krafton Jungle campus in Yongin, Gyeonggi.
Meanwhile, Krafton Jungle held the "second-half integrated briefing session for 2026" at Hanyang University's Seoul campus on May 16. The session featured a variety of programs, including career insight sessions by senior developers, introductions by track, Q&A with coaches and graduates, and consultation booths.
Kim Hyeon-su, head coach at Krafton Jungle, said, "In the AI era, beyond simply using technology, a developer's ability to understand problems structurally and solve them independently is becoming even more important," and added, "Krafton Jungle will continue to focus on cultivating developers who can grow with AI on the foundation of strong fundamentals."
