KRAFTON announced on the 8th that it is accepting applications for the second half of 2026 for its digital talent development program, KRAFTON JUNGLE.

This recruitment covers three programs: the 13rd SW-AI Lab, the 6th Game Lab, and the 4th Game Tech Lab. Applicants can choose the program that best aligns with their interests and career goals.

The SW-AI Lab focuses on training AI-native developers, the Game Lab on cultivating creative game creators, and the Game Tech Lab on developing practical game programmers specialized in game engines. Applications will be accepted from June 8 to July 5 via the KRAFTON JUNGLE official website.

KRAFTON JUNGLE is a talent development program based on the KAIST SW Academy JUNGLE curriculum. Since the launch of its first cohort in October 2022, the program has expanded to include the Game Lab and Game Tech Lab, with over 700 graduates to date. Currently, approximately 150 students are engaged in immersive learning at the KRAFTON JUNGLE campus in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do.

Kim Hyun-soo, Head Coach of KRAFTON JUNGLE, stated that in the AI era, it is increasingly important for developers to go beyond simply using technology and instead possess the ability to understand problems structurally and solve them independently. He added that KRAFTON JUNGLE will continue to focus on fostering developers who can grow alongside AI, built on a solid foundation of fundamentals.

Meanwhile, KRAFTON JUNGLE held an integrated information session for the second half of 2026 at Hanyang University's Seoul campus on May 16. The event featured various programs, including career insight sessions from senior developers, program introductions, Q&A sessions with coaches and alumni, and consultation booths. The session drew significant interest, recording an average satisfaction rate of 93.6% in a survey of approximately 500 attendees.
