Core of Nuclear Ecosystem Restoration: 'Investment and Workforce'... Record-Breaking 'Energy Investment and Job' Expo This November

Ministry of Industry Holds Kickoff Meeting for Expo Preparation

The largest 'Energy New Industry Investment and Job Fair' in the energy sector will be held this November. It aims to provide communication opportunities between companies and job seekers for 'corporate investment and the influx of skilled personnel,' which are key to the early recovery of the nuclear power ecosystem.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy will hold a kickoff meeting for the Energy New Industry Investment and Job Fair on the 15th at the Ibis Ambassador in Myeongdong, Seoul.

At this meeting, discussions will be held with energy companies and related organizations regarding the Energy Fair scheduled for November 1st (Yangjae EL Tower).

This kickoff meeting was organized to share the current status of investment and recruitment by major energy companies and plans for the fair. Energy companies such as Doosan Enerbility, Hanwha Energy, SK E&S, and related organizations including the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) and the Korea Energy Agency will participate.

According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, there is expected to be a shortage of 21,000 energy specialists by 2030. However, previous job fairs and forums have been conducted on a small scale, limiting their effectiveness.

Cheon Young-gil, Director of the Energy Policy Office at the Ministry, said, "This fair is necessary amid the ongoing shortage of energy specialists and the asymmetry of employment information. It is especially important for the restoration of the nuclear power ecosystem, securing energy efficiency improvement technologies, and fostering the hydrogen industry."

Meanwhile, the Ministry announced the 'Mid- to Long-term Strategy for Energy Workforce Development' in May this year and the 'Energy New Industry Export Power Strategy' in July to cultivate energy specialists.
