Every year, we publish the “Engineer White Paper,” which provides a comprehensive understanding of trends related to engineers, in order to advance the engineering industry.
*Note: “Largest” is an expression based on a comparison of the IT Human Resources White Paper (2020 edition) and the number of registered members and UU of our company, based on the online community where engineers gather as a market.
