Testworks received high marks for presenting a good job direction in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution by creating social jobs such as employing people with autism and women with career interruptions as inspection managers to secure essential datasets for AI advancement. As of May, among the total 84 employees, 20% (17) are disabled, 18% (15) are women with career interruptions, and 39% (33) are youth.
