LG Innotek Secures Top Talent Through 'Global Internship' Program

Customized Internship Linked to Recruitment
Outstanding Interns Hired as Full-Time Employees

LG Innotek has stepped up efforts to secure outstanding overseas talent to strengthen its global business competitiveness. The goal is to enhance capabilities in responding to global customers and overseas subsidiaries, as well as to ensure diversity in talent.

LG Innotek announced on the 20th that it recently conducted a global internship program over five weeks. The global internship is a recruitment-linked internship targeting international students enrolled in domestic and foreign universities and graduate schools, and has been operating since 2021.

This year, a total of 31 students participated in the global internship, including foreign international students enrolled in domestic universities and Korean students studying at overseas universities. The interns were assigned to various departments such as R&D, production technology, overseas marketing, and SCM (Supply Chain Management). Outstanding interns are converted to full-time employees after interviews. Among the 24 students who participated in last year’s global internship, 11 outstanding interns were hired as full-time employees.

LG Innotek also operates customized programs for each intern participant. Foreign international students receive close support throughout the entire pre-employment process, including administrative procedures for employment, while Korean international students are assigned mentors who are senior employees with similar overseas university experiences to help them quickly adapt to the organization. Through activities such as conversations with foreign senior employees and networking among international students, the company provides multifaceted support to help interns fully engage in the program.

Meanwhile, LG Innotek runs various programs to secure outstanding global talent. In response to the growth of its Vietnam subsidiary, the company operates various recruitment-linked programs such as contract departments, internships, and career guidance through business agreements (MOUs) with major local universities including Hanoi University of Science and Technology and Ho Chi Minh Polytechnic University. Additionally, in September this year, LG Innotek plans to hold the 'North America R&D Outstanding Talent Invitation Conference,' where executives including the CEO will personally visit to recruit excellent master's and doctoral talents from leading North American universities.

Kim Heung-sik, CHO (Vice President), said, "LG Innotek is rapidly expanding the scale of its overseas production and sales subsidiaries, and as a company growing based on partnerships with customers worldwide, securing global business competitiveness is essential. We will actively secure outstanding talent to lead the company’s future growth and continue to provide differentiated customer value." Overseas sales account for approximately 96% of LG Innotek’s total sales.
