The examination, originally scheduled for March 1, was postponed twice?first to April 4, then to April 16?due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and the implementation of social distancing, and was resumed after two and a half months.


To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the corporation established a hotline with the Seo-gu Health Center, fire station, and medical institutions in Daejeon. It also established an enhanced internal quarantine manual to prepare for any infection occurrences.


Measures were taken to check whether examinees had symptoms such as fever or cough and to confirm self-quarantine eligibility by collecting prior reports on visits to Itaewon, among other precautions.


The examination was conducted for four major job functions and three new employee job groups. A total of 699 candidates nationwide took the exam.


The four major job functions include research on inspection methods and development of inspection standards in new renewable energy fields such as Energy Storage Systems (ESS). The three new employee job groups are management, technical, and research.


The corporation plans to hire approximately 140 people after conducting interviews on the 30th at its headquarters in the Innovation City of Jeollabuk-do.



Cho Seongwan, president of the corporation, said, "We plan to proceed with recruitment while strictly adhering to government quarantine guidelines, prioritizing the safety of examinees. We hope that the examination, held after a long time, will revitalize the recruitment market, which has been subdued due to COVID-19."
