Samsung said on the 18th it plans to actively create youth jobs and foster future growth businesses by newly hiring 60,000 people over the next five years.
Samsung said it will expand hiring with a focus on key components businesses centered on semiconductors, the bio industry that has become a future growth engine, and artificial intelligence (AI), which has rapidly emerged as a core technology.
Samsung said it will run hiring-linked internships in parallel with recruitment of technical talent to expand youth employment. To help young people build the practical skills needed for jobs, it will greatly expand the scale of college student internships to offer more students opportunities for on-the-job experience, and it plans to actively hire outstanding talent verified through internships.
Samsung is maintaining its open recruitment system, introduced in 1957 as the first in Korea, to put its talent-first management philosophy into practice. Nineteen affiliates, including Samsung Electronics, Samsung C&T, and Samsung Biologics, are conducting second-half open recruitment to secure top talent.
