[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Amid a shipbuilding industry boom driven by the transition to eco-friendly industries, in-house partner companies in the Gyeongnam region have decided to hire about 200 job seekers. A 'Matching Day' event providing job information will also be held.

The Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Plant Association (Shipbuilding Association) announced on the 23rd that it will hold the 'Gyeongnam Region Shipbuilding Sector In-house Partner Skilled Workforce Matching Day' with this purpose. The Matching Day will take place on the 24th at the Changwon Convention Center. The event is co-hosted and organized by the Shipbuilding Association, the Shipbuilding & Marine Industry Human Resources Development Committee, the Gyeongnam Regional Human Resources Development Committee, the Gyeongnam Employment Stability Preemptive Response Support Center, and the Geoje Shipbuilding Hope Center.

Fifteen in-house partner companies from K Shipbuilding (formerly STX Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering), Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, and Samsung Heavy Industries will participate in the Matching Day, planning to hire a total of 204 workers. They will recruit practical workers in fields such as welding. The number of recruits by field and wages will be disclosed on the Worknet website before the event. Job seekers who visit on the day of the Matching Day with resumes and other interview documents will be given on-site interview opportunities. Information and consulting will be provided to job seekers regarding the shipbuilding industry's specialized job search platform, interview booths for participating companies, and employment consulting booths (resume editing and interview coaching).

A representative from the Shipbuilding Association said, "With the recent surge in ship orders, there is a demand for hiring personnel in occupations such as welding and painting," adding, "We hope that this Matching Day will somewhat alleviate the workforce supply and demand issues." Since 2015, the Shipbuilding Association has been conducting various projects for industrial workforce supply and training as the representative organization of the 'Shipbuilding & Marine Industry Human Resources Development Committee (ISC)' with support from the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea.
