Company named for sixth time since first selection in 2018
Focus on expanding hiring of people with disabilities, women and merit-based recruitment
Tokyo Electron Korea, the South Korean arm of Tokyo Electron, has been named a "Republic of Korea Top Job Creation Company" by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
The designation recognizes companies that have made outstanding contributions to job creation and improving the quality of employment.
Tokyo Electron Korea was recognized for expanding job opportunities for young people and other vulnerable job seekers and for providing quality youth employment. With this, the company has now been named a top job creation company six times in total, following previous selections in 2018, 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2025.
Tokyo Electron Korea has continued to offer young people work experience and employment opportunities through its own hands-on internship program and by taking part in the Ministry of Employment and Labor's youth job experience project.
The company has maintained a conversion rate to regular positions of more than 90 percent for its young hires. Employees aged 34 or younger make up about 63 percent of its total workforce.
The company has also worked to expand hiring of people with disabilities and women. Since opening its in-house cafe TELASIS at its Baran factory in 2024 and beginning to hire baristas with disabilities there, it has opened additional locations at its Hwaseong and Pyeongtaek offices. A total of 16 baristas with disabilities currently work across the three locations.
The company also runs various programs to support the growth and skill development of female talent, including mentoring through WISET (the Korea Foundation for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology).
In its hiring process, the company has strengthened task-based job evaluations and introduced AI aptitude tests to comprehensively assess applicants' capabilities as part of its merit-based recruitment.
"This selection reflects recognition of our efforts to improve the quality of jobs -- expanding youth employment, increasing hiring of people with disabilities and women, and pursuing job-focused recruitment," said Roh Tae-woo, CEO of Tokyo Electron Korea. "We will continue working to build a workplace environment where talented individuals can grow while making the most of their abilities."
