Recruiting Process
New employees are recruited through a number of channels, one of which is our internship program. University students may choose from the college internship program, under which they work for nine weeks during the school term or vacation. Another option is the 16-week industry-academia program whereby students come to work during the school year. Among the 3,624 new recruits in 2009 who hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, 812 were picked through the internship schemes. We also cooperate with academic institutions in offering curriculum in technology pertaining to Samsung Electronics (handset, semiconductor equipment).
