Onboarding
The four EPC-related companies believe that hiring and developing diverse talent is essential for deepening existing businesses and expanding into new fields. Therefore, we focus not only on recruitment but also on subsequent onboarding, supporting talent so they can make an early impact.
Four EPC-Related Companies：
Refers to the four companies that are responsible for or related to the core Total Engineering Business of our Group (JGC Holdings Corporation, JGC Corporation, JGC Japan Corporation, and JGC Corporate Solutions Co., Ltd.). These companies were previously a single entity (the former JGC Corporation) before transitioning to a holding company structure, and since some initiatives are limited to these four companies, this term is used for convenience.
Recruiting
A tactical approach is taken for diverse recruiting that includes new graduate recruitment, mid-career recruitment and alumni recruitment, to secure the human resources deemed essential for achieving the 2040 Vision.
New graduate recruitment
In addition to traditional methods of recruitment, a new recruiting segment for "TR (transformation)" has been formed as a proactive way of securing human resources with diverse areas of expertise (biotechnology, medical engineering, nuclear energy, etc.) or capable of creating new businesses. A DX segment has also been created to secure human resources capable of bringing about digital transformation, with the view to assigning capable personnel to departments related to DX and IT.
Students amongst the pool of new graduates are better educated about their careers earlier on every year, and the number of students brought on board for internships during school holidays are also increasing. We are fine-tuning ideas like creating new courses accepting students involved in the DX and TR outlined above, as we actively hire new graduates as human resources who will be taking the reins of the JGC Group in the future.
Mid-career recruitment
In addition to strengthening recruitment of human resources necessary to increase project execution capacity, we are proactively pursuing mid-career recruitment of specialists in new business areas requiring unknown technical capabilities and expertise, as well as in the DX and IT fields, which are expected to become even more important in the future, with an eye toward the “2040 Vision.” To increase the number of hires, we have also begun full-scale implementation of new recruitment methods such as referral recruitment (employee referrals) and direct recruiting, and have achieved stable results.
Building a network with alumni
The four EPC-related companies value connections with former employees (alumni). At the alumni event held annually on the anniversary of our company’s founding, we provide a place for alumni and current employees to interact under the theme “Make JGC your alma mater.” In the online community, we share news, event information, dialogues with alumni, and interviews with rejoined employees, and currently, the community has over 250 participants.
By providing opportunities for ongoing connection with alumni in this way, we are creating opportunities for alumni re-employment and co-creation/collaboration.

Onboarding
Networking program
Communication across departments is an essential element for smoothly carrying out our Group’s Total Engineering Business. Against this backdrop, the four EPC-related companies launched the networking program “NetsHub” in fiscal year 2023 for employees within three years of mid-career hire or within six years of new graduate hire, as an opportunity to build vertical, horizontal, and diagonal connections.
To date, a total of 1,400 people have participated in this program, deepening exchanges through in-house developed card games and social gatherings under the theme of “self-disclosure beyond one’s resume.” In fiscal year 2024, we also added content reflecting on our company’s history, providing opportunities to reaffirm our high level of execution capability.
As a result, understanding of the company and organization has deepened, leading to increased attachment and engagement of each employee with the company. Going forward, we will continue to provide opportunities for networking and community building from various perspectives, aiming to facilitate daily project operations and create new collaborations by strengthening these internal connections.
