BMW Korea Future Foundation, 7th Young Engineer Dream Project Launch Ceremony

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] BMW Korea Future Foundation announced on the 10th that it held the 7th Young Engineer Dream Project inauguration ceremony on the 9th at the BMW Driving Center in Yeongjongdo.

The Young Engineer Dream Project is a program that provides monthly mentoring on majors and career paths to low-income, single-parent, and multicultural family youths among students from 10 technical high schools and Meister automotive departments nationwide.

Participating students gain hands-on experience by being directly assigned to BMW and MINI official service centers where their mentors belong during regular mentoring sessions. Through this, they can explore and consult on career paths more practically to grow into professional technicians.

Starting with the inauguration ceremony, 36 students and 12 mentors of the 7th term will embark on a year-long career mentoring activity. Mentors and students form groups of 1:3 and conduct regular monthly mentoring sessions, concluding their activities with a "field trip" to visit key facilities of the BMW Group in Germany in October.

Before the full-scale activities, students completed basic BMW education over two days starting from the 7th at the BMW Training Academy. During the training, students directly learned about the history of BMW and MINI, major products, and core technologies including BMW EfficientDynamics. They also had a Q&A and mentoring opportunity regarding future careers through the newly introduced "Meeting with Alumni of the Young Engineer Dream Project" session this year.
