Positions span vehicle development, design, manufacturing engineering and software
Open to four-year university graduates and those finishing degrees in February next year
10-week program runs from Jan. 4; applications close Sunday
General Motors is recruiting about 100 interns to work in vehicle development, manufacturing technology and software, with participants given the chance to convert to full-time positions based on their performance after 10 weeks of hands-on work.
GM Technical Center Korea announced Friday it is accepting applications for its "2027 Winter Internship" program as part of efforts to build up its automotive technology workforce.
The program will take on roughly 100 interns across roles in vehicle development and design, manufacturing engineering, and vehicle software development — all tied to automotive research, development and manufacturing.
The internship is structured as a recruitment-linked program rather than a simple job-shadowing exercise. Participants will gain direct experience in vehicle development and engineering while building the skills required for their respective roles.
The 10-week program runs from Jan. 4 to March 12 next year. GM will evaluate each intern's work performance and job suitability to determine whether to offer a full-time position.
Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree from a four-year university or be on track to graduate in February next year.
Candidates can apply by selecting their preferred role on GM's recruitment website, completing an online application and submitting a resume or self-introduction portfolio.
"We hope this will be an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of a global automaker and gain real-world experience in the automotive industry," a GM Technical Center Korea official said. "We look forward to hearing from applicants who are eager to learn and grow across a range of fields."
GM Technical Center Korea is GM's domestic research and development organization, handling work across vehicle design and engineering, software, and electronic systems development.
Meanwhile, GM Korea posted sales of 50,189 vehicles in October, a 26.6 percent increase from the same month a year earlier. Exports drove the overall result, rising 28.5 percent to 49,390 units, while domestic sales fell 33.1 percent to 799 vehicles.
