• LG Energy Solution Wroclaw welcomed four local university students to the 10th edition of its Korean language internship from July 6 to 24, 2026.
• Since its launch in 2020, the program has evolved to include EV battery production line tours, business meeting simulations, and hands-on interpretation experience.

From July 6 to 24, 2026, LG Energy Solution Wroclaw, one of the company’s key European production hubs in Poland, hosted four students for the 10th edition of its Korean language internship. Three participants came from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, and one came from the University of Wroclaw. The three-week program provided practical corporate translation and interpretation experience through onboarding, training, EV battery production line tours, business meeting simulations, real meetings, and mentoring from experienced translators.

The Evolution of LG Energy Solution Wroclaw’s Korean Language Internship

When LG Energy Solution Wroclaw launched its first Korean language internship in 2020, it hosted 36 participants and focused on technical translations, with interns working alongside company translators on production lines. The program has since evolved into a more selective and professionally focused experience, providing intensive training that reflects changes in the day-to-day work of the Translation Team. Today, the internship exposes participants to varied professional settings and provides hands-on experience in interpretation and translation across business environments.

“Over the course of 10 editions, we have significantly changed the format of the internship. In the beginning, the groups were large, and we spent most of our time helping to translate technical details,” said Agnieszka Zagorska, Senior Translation Specialist at LG Energy Solution Wroclaw, who has been involved with the program throughout its evolution. “Today, interpreters work across a much wider range of settings, including on-site meetings with management, as well as off-site meetings, administrative-level discussions, official events, and visits.”

Developing Translation Skills in a Battery Manufacturing Environment

Following onboarding and required training, interns tour production lines to build an understanding of key battery manufacturing stages and related technical terminology. Through meeting simulations and assignments to specific production processes, they learn how to apply specialized terminology within an operational context. They then apply their translation and interpretation skills in actual business meetings across the company.

“Interns naturally develop new language skills, but just as importantly, they learn to be flexible and quickly apply their diverse knowledge in practice,” said Zagorska.

“Our interns appreciated the opportunity to interpret or translate independently, as well as the quick and constructive feedback after completing the task,” said Shugyla Tazhibay, Senior Translation Specialist at LG Energy Solution Wroclaw, on the value of the program’s hands-on approach.

How LG Energy Solution Wroclaw’s Translation Team Mentors Future Translators

Each intern works with an experienced translator from LG Energy Solution Wroclaw’s Translation Team throughout the program. Mentors manage meetings for specific production processes in their daily roles and help interns become familiar with the company’s organizational culture and industry-specific vocabulary.

This support reflects the Translation Team’s commitment to sharing insight into translation work with students. “From the beginning of the internship program, we wanted students from different universities to understand that our team is dedicated to translation,” said Agnieszka Szamborska, Translator Team Manager at LG Energy Solution Wroclaw.

Current interns also benefit from guidance provided by former program participants. “A few years ago, I was in the same position as an intern at LG Energy Solution Wroclaw. Soon, I will have been working here as a translator for three years,” said Malgorzata Prokop, Translation Specialist at LG Energy Solution Wroclaw and one of the program coordinators. “Our goal is to show students what the work of a translator looks like and familiarize them with interpretation that often needs to be handled on the spot.”

Building a Long-Term Korean-Speaking Talent Pipeline in Poland

The Korean Language Internship strengthens LG Energy Solution Wroclaw’s relationships with university partners while building a long-term network of Korean-speaking talent in Poland. Through the program, students apply their academic language skills in a corporate setting and gain insight into translation work. This firsthand experience can help them explore professional interpretation as a potential career while still at university.

Over 10 editions, the internship has helped LG Energy Solution Wroclaw build a network of Korean-speaking talent that can support future recruitment. “We use these contacts when recruiting both for the Translation Team and for other departments of our company that are looking for people with specific language skills,” Szamborska explained.

By connecting academic language study with practical workplace experience, the program helps participants understand the company’s working environment and the demands of professional translation while supporting LG Energy Solution Wroclaw’s long-term talent needs.
