According to Seongnam City, applications for the "2026 Excellent Employment Companies" will be accepted from August 3 to August 14. Eligible applicants are SMEs with either their headquarters or main factory located in Seongnam, which have been in normal operation for at least two years and regularly employ at least five workers. In addition, they must have achieved an employment growth rate of at least 10% over the past year, with the number of employees increasing by at least two.

The city will not only consider the number of new hires but will also evaluate the soundness of business management, employment stability, and working conditions—placing emphasis on the quality of the jobs provided.

Selected companies will be given a certificate and a plaque valid for two years. When applying for various business support programs—including participation in domestic and overseas exhibitions, market development assistance, commercialization packages, and the Climate Tech SME Nurturing Program—they will also receive various incentives.

However, if a company fails to meet the maintenance requirements—such as reducing the number of employees or relocating/closing their business—during the status surveys conducted twice a year after certification, the certification may be revoked.

Applicants should submit their application forms, SME confirmation certificates, business registration copies, and other required documents to the designated staff member’s email by August 14. For more information, please refer to the notices section on the Seongnam City Hall website.

Currently, Seongnam City has certified a total of 30 Excellent Employment Companies, including 14 general businesses and 16 youth employment companies, providing them with ongoing support.
