Volkswagen Group, headquartered in Germany and the parent company of Volkswagen Group Korea, is driving transformation to become a software-driven mobility provider.
As cars become increasingly digital and connected, software now serves as the 'brain' of the vehicle, creating a growing demand for highly skilled automotive software engineers. To meet this need, Volkswagen Group is dedicated to cultivating talent in this field.
In alignment with the Group's vision, the WE: Foundation will continue to run diverse educational programs to train the next generation of automotive software specialists who will be steering Korea's automotive sector forward.

The WE: Foundation offers a variety of engaging coding classes for elementary school students. In March 2019, we launched a free-semester program for middle school students, centered on future mobility.
Our free-semester programs provide an inspiring environment where students gain hands-on coding experience and explore potential careers. The curriculum encourages students to think about the societal impacts of future mobility trends, develop mobility-related applications, and learn about various career opportunities in the automotive industry.
We aim to continue nurturing future mobility talent by establishing an MOU with local Offices of Education in Korea and developing diverse courses tailored to classroom environments.
