Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Hyundai Motor Group announced the launch of its expanded joint traineeship program in partnership with Mohammed bin Salman Foundation (Misk Foundation) to nurture future talent and deepen its strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia.

Out of over 2,500 applicants, 10 talented Saudi students and graduates were selected to participate in an intensive eight-week program at Hyundai’s headquarters in Seoul, according to the official statement released today.

The students were selected through a rigorous evaluation process based on their professional capabilities, global communication skills and growth potential.

The program is designed to provide participants with immersive, hands-on experience within a global original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Trainees will experience a range of fields related to Hyundai Motor Group’s key priorities, including global strategy, design, and business operations.

Asma Al Jasser, Director of Misk Skills Track at the Misk Foundation, said: “The success of the first cohort demonstrated the value of this partnership and the impact it can create for Saudi youth. Expanding our collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group this year reflects our shared commitment to developing future talent through global learning experiences that prepare young people for the evolving workforce.”

In turn, Hokeun Chung, Executive Vice President of Future Strategy Division at Hyundai Motor Group, commented: “We are pleased to partner with the Misk Foundation to welcome talented Saudi youth to Hyundai Motor Group through this traineeship program. This experience will provide participants with valuable skills and firsthand insight into our business, innovation, and future vision. We believe this initiative will help nurture future talent, further strengthen the partnership between Korea and Saudi Arabia, and foster deeper collaboration in the years ahead.”

The program will help participants explore the group’s innovative technologies, strategic priorities and future business initiatives, while supporting their professional development and global outlook.

Moreover, Hyundai Motor Group plans to deepen its cooperation with the Misk Foundation and broaden related efforts to promote human exchange between Saudi Arabia and Korea while supporting broader collaboration across industries and related sectors.
