Hyundai Mobis, Online and Offline 'SW Yeolgong'

Operation of Software Academy and More
Recruitment of Outstanding Talent through Various Trainings

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai Mobis has declared its leap to become a software (SW) specialized company and is accelerating its organizational reform. In particular, it considers talent development as the most important task to secure SW competitiveness and is actively engaging in various training programs and recruiting outstanding talent.

According to the industry on the 6th, Hyundai Mobis has been operating the 'Mobis Software Academy' at its Yongin Technology Research Center since 2018, where specialized software education can be completed. The biggest feature of the Mobis Software Academy is its focus on convergence software courses specialized in autonomous driving, such as sensors and logic (perception, judgment, control). It includes courses on big data utilization, image recognition, sensor control, and communication technology.

It is very rare both domestically and internationally for an auto parts company to operate a large-scale SW professional workforce training program comparable to IT companies. Hyundai Mobis researchers learn not only coding and algorithm design but also mechanical structural engineering, including the principles of how autonomous vehicles operate.

Recently, to nurture outstanding SW talent who will lead the future car era, Hyundai Mobis newly established an educational platform where employees can freely take SW courses online. This is to support employees in enhancing their SW utilization capabilities by moving between online and offline environments in line with the untact trend accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Along with expanding and nurturing SW personnel at domestic research centers, Hyundai Mobis is also expanding its India research center and Vietnam branch as global SW specialized research hubs. Hyderabad, where the India research center is located, and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam are rich in IT and SW-related outstanding talent who have received specialized education, and the perception of Korean companies is favorable, making talent acquisition easier.

A Hyundai Mobis official stated, "To spread the SW development culture, we plan to actively support synergy through establishing new education systems, expanding professional personnel, and collaborating with global hubs."
