The Small Business Market Promotion Agency (SBMPA) announced on September 21 that it has received the '2026 Public Sector Excellence in Human Resource Development Certification' from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Personnel Management.
This certification recognizes organizations that excel in developing human resources through comprehensive evaluations of their recruitment, training, career development, and performance management systems.
SBMPA was recognized for its efforts to enhance equitable recruitment practices, including hiring individuals with disabilities, high school graduates, and local talent, and for creating a barrier-free hiring environment. As a result, it was selected as a 'Best Practice Organization Reflecting Government Policies' and is set to receive a commendation from the Minister of Education in November.
SBMPA has actively provided job seekers with recruitment information by operating 'on-site recruitment briefings' in collaboration with regional universities and participating in job fairs for vocational high schools in partnership with education offices.
Additionally, the agency has established systems to expand job opportunities for vulnerable groups, including individuals with disabilities, by implementing measures such as limited competition for disabled applicants, exemptions from written tests, and providing accommodations based on disability types. It has also developed customized job descriptions that detail the working environment.
In Tae-yeon, Chairman of SBMPA, stated, 'Ensuring fair opportunities and competency-based recruitment is a core value that public institutions must uphold. We will lead the way in human resource development in public institutions so that individuals from diverse backgrounds can demonstrate their capabilities without discrimination.'
