"Maritime Workforce Development" Hyundai Glovis Establishes Industry-Academia Scholarship Program

Korea Maritime University and Mokpo Maritime University Select Scholarship Students

Hyundai Glovis announced on the 12th that it will establish and operate an industry-academia scholarship system to train maritime personnel.

The company selects 12 fourth-year students annually (6 from each) from Korea Maritime and Ocean University and Mokpo National Maritime University, providing tuition fees along with separate learning support funds twice a year. Selected scholarship recipients will receive additional points when applying for Hyundai Glovis recruitment after graduation.

The selection criteria include having an average GPA of 3.0 or higher and being expected to graduate the following year. Preference is given to those with practical experience on Hyundai Glovis car carriers or gas carriers from other companies, as well as English conversation skills.

On the 8th, the first scholarship certificate ceremony was held at Mokpo National Maritime University, followed by Korea Maritime and Ocean University on the 9th. Representatives from both maritime universities stated, “The scholarship funds provided by Hyundai Glovis will serve as a foundation for nurturing competitive core talent,” and added, “We appreciate the establishment of the scholarship system and will continue to do our best to fulfill our role as educational institutions.”

A Hyundai Glovis official said, “We hope that the scholarship system we have prepared will help foster talent at domestic maritime specialized educational institutions and create a virtuous cycle that leads to the activation of excellent human resources inflow into the shipping industry.”
