"From App Development Contests to White Hacker Training"... Hyundai AutoEver Nurtures Future SW Talent

Hyundai AutoEver announced on December 9 that it is continuing its social contribution activities to nurture future software (SW) talent, including app development contests and mobility talent development camps.

Leveraging its identity as a 'mobility tech company,' Hyundai AutoEver operates flagship SW talent development programs such as the Barrier-Free App Development Contest and smart mobility training and camps.

The Barrier-Free App Development Contest, now in its ninth year, is Hyundai AutoEver's signature social contribution initiative. The event solicits ideas from university and graduate students to improve convenience for socially disadvantaged groups, and supports the realization of selected ideas into actual apps. To this end, the company provides mentoring, app development education, and financial support. This year, a total of 151 teams applied, and eight ideas will be selected by February next year to be developed into apps.

The smart mobility training and camp is a social contribution program that Hyundai AutoEver has been running for eight consecutive years. It aims to bridge the digital education gap by providing coding education opportunities to children at local community centers. This year, Hyundai AutoEver selected 18 university student mentors and dispatched them to six local community centers in Seoul and the metropolitan area, where they provided coding education on topics such as autonomous driving, infotainment, and smart cities. At the same time, Hyundai AutoEver offered various forms of mentoring to the university student mentors, including scholarship support and career counseling.

Hyundai AutoEver has also conducted the 'White Hacker Training Program' for seven consecutive years, offering high school students aspiring to become information security experts the opportunity to participate in white hacker competitions. This year, 50 students from specialized high schools were selected to receive security-related education, and Hyundai AutoEver also facilitated motivational mentoring by its employees.

In particular, Hyundai AutoEver selected employee 'pro bono' participants for all three programs to serve as judges, instructors, and mentors. Pro bono refers to professionals volunteering their talents or skills for the public good.

Kim Yunkoo, CEO of Hyundai AutoEver, emphasized, "We will continue to carry out various social contribution activities to nurture future SW talent."
