Yearly Program

Spring, challenge

When LG Global Challenger recruitment begins in March, students form groups of four, decide their expedition topic and make a blueprint. The blueprints submitted through the LG Global Challenger website are evaluated and selected for an interview and only 30 teams gain the honor to become the challenger member in final.

Summer, honored

30 teams finally selected are designated as an official challenger member and members ruminate on their commitments in the launching ceremony. CEO of LG and affiliated companies attend the ceremony celebrating the passion and courage of the members.

After the ceremony, members are educated for four days in LG Academy (Inhwawon), LG’s human resource development institution. The members not only learn about the vision of LG, global mindset and teamwork, but also meet their senior challengers and have a time to build friendship and become true LG Global Challengers.

Midsummer, globalize

For 14 days and 13 nights from July to August, each team goes on the expedition they planned. Teams autonomously arrange and meet the agent of their expedition area, visit the sites, and learn the state-of-the-art technology, system and culture. The executive office supports everything necessary for the expedition such as flight tickets, airline, insurance, and safety education.

Also, for those teams who wish, the executive office provides a blog in LG’s official website and enables teams to broadcast their activities through movies, pictures, and texts. Every year, nearly 300 pages of broadcast bulletins are listed with more than 1.7 million visitors.

Autumn, fruit

Challengers who finished their expedition are given a month to make a written report of their gains in reasonable length. The reports and presentation are evaluated and the best 12 teams are awarded with trophies and scholarship. Especially, the teams that won the grand prize are offered with internship and a job in LG.

Winter, sharing

After the awards, the expedition reports are gathered into a book and donated to public libraries, university libraries and companies throughout the nation for it to be used as a resource for studies and research. The original text is put up in the official LG Global Challenger website for everyone to use.
