The Korean program collaborated with LSP USA, LLC, the primary partner of LG Energy Solutions and Ultium Cells, to recruit individuals for positions at EV battery plants and construction sites across the U.S. Following the large-scale raid at the Hyundai–LG battery plant construction site in Georgia, the industry is urgently seeking individuals to fill the gap left by the return of many Korean technicians and engineers to Korea.

LSP USA participated in the CWRU Fall Career Fair on September 25, 2025, where not only students from the Korean Program, Korean Student Association (KSA), and Korean American Student Association (KASA), but also many students without a Korean background visited their booth and learned about these opportunities, as the industry is  now actively opening positions to individuals from diverse linguistic and ethnic backgrounds.

After the career fair, instructor Dr. Hyun Kyung Kim arranged a meeting between LSP USA representatives and executives of the Korean American Association of Greater Cleveland (KAAGC). Together, they discussed the sites’ current status, ongoing staff recruitment efforts, and strategies to better connect CWRU and Cleveland-based students with these opportunities.
