Woojin recognized for job creation, improved working conditions

Woojin Industrial Systems, a Korean manufacturer of railway vehicles and electric buses, has been recognized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor for its job creation and improved working conditions. The company was selected for this year's program, which honors 100 private companies and offers administrative and financial incentives to encourage hiring and enhance workplace practices.

Woojin's growth in employment can be attributed to investments outside the Seoul metropolitan area, including the completion of a 47 billion won electric bus factory in Gimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, which has supported the recruitment of about 100 local workers. The company's workforce now has 673 members covered by employment insurance, up from 578 in 2024.
