Hosted by Guatemala’s Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (Mintrab), the fair attracted over a thousand job seekers and more than 30 companies across industries including apparel and construction materials. Daniel Tex welcomed more than 400 visitors to its booth, where HR managers provided one-on-one consultations and presented career opportunities in production, quality control, technical roles, and administration.
Operating five subsidiaries in Guatemala—including Daniel Tex, S.A., ShinWon GT, S.A., and Fashion Stitch Guatemala, S.A.—alongside its local sales office, ShinWon has consistently generated stable and long-term jobs in the region. The company also implements a broad portfolio of employee-friendly policies such as women’s empowerment training programs, maternity support kits, onsite medical clinics, and recognition programs for outstanding employees. Through this fair, ShinWon extended its long-standing CSR initiatives to local youth, reinforcing its vision of being “a company that grows together with local communities.”
One participant said, “For young people like me, it was an invaluable opportunity to dream bigger and launch a career with a global fashion company. What inspired me most was that ShinWon not only provided stable employment but also opened a clear pathway to grow and thrive in the international marketplace.”
Michael Jang, General Director of Daniel Tex, S.A., stated, “ShinWon has grown together with the Guatemalan community. We are proud to empower local youth by creating more opportunities. Moving forward, as a global fashion company, we will remain committed to generating stable jobs, driving sustainable growth in the local economy, and taking the lead in social contribution.”

With 15 entities across Guatemala, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the United States, ShinWon now employs approximately 30,000 people worldwide.
