Mercedes-Benz Korea held a joint launch ceremony on the 11th at its Training Academy in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, welcoming students from the 19th cohort of 'AET (Automotive Electric Traineeship)' and the 10th cohort of 'Ausbildung' as part of its professional maintenance talent development program.
The event was organized to commemorate the 20th anniversary of AET and the 10th anniversary of Ausbildung, sharing achievements in cultivating approximately 500 automotive maintenance professionals over the past two decades—including through its predecessor AMT—and reaffirming its commitment to nurturing future talent.
A total of 200 people attended the event, including 34 students from the 19th AET cohort and 19 from the 10th Ausbildung cohort, along with 140 graduates specially invited to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the automobile. Attendees also included Kim Na-jeong, Executive Vice President in charge of Network Development and Training Academy at Mercedes-Benz Korea; executives from official partner companies; and representatives from the German Embassy and the German-Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Seoul. The event, themed "Welcome Home," featured graduates returning to the training academy where they once studied, and included a uniform-wearing ceremony for new students, a banquet between senior and junior technicians, and commemorative programs.
Mercedes-Benz Korea has continued its talent development efforts since launching 'AMT (Automotive Mechatronic Traineeship)' in 2006. In response to industry electrification and technological changes, the company restructured and advanced its program into AET in 2022, strengthening electric vehicle maintenance training. The newly selected 34 students of the 19th AET cohort will obtain certified system technician qualifications after completing 20 training courses and assessments.
