Ulsan City and the Office of Education are hosting the "2nd Vocational High School Employment Fair" as part of the Vocational Education Innovation District project.


The fair is a project newly launched this year by the Office of Education and Ulsan City to support vocational high school students' employment in local companies and assist local companies in recruitment.


At the 1st Employment Fair held in the first half of this year, 20 companies participated, and about 40 students secured employment with local companies. The recruitment interviews for this second half employment fair will take place from November 20 to 21 at the auditorium of Ulsan Technical High School.


Prior to the employment fair, the Office of Education is collaborating with Ulsan City and related organizations to identify local companies seeking to hire. From November 9 to 17, students will visit their desired companies by school to experience the workplace and receive explanations.


Students hired through this process will undergo customized technical training tailored to local industries, workplace adaptation education, and then participate in on-site training at related companies before employment.

The Ulsan Office of Education, with support from the city, provides settlement allowances of 400,000 KRW and commuting transportation expenses of 50,000 KRW to workers of local green mobility-related companies who graduated from local vocational high schools.


Following the selection of the Vocational Education Innovation District project by the Ministry of Education's public contest in February last year, the Office of Education and Ulsan City have been focusing on nurturing technical talent in future strategic industries in the Ulsan region and supporting their local settlement.


The Vocational Education Innovation District project involves cooperation between the Office of Education and Ulsan City, with participation from local organizations, universities, companies, and vocational high schools. Ulsan City provided 400 million KRW in project funds this year and plans to support another 400 million KRW next year.



An official from the Ulsan City Office of Education stated, "Going forward, together with Ulsan City and related organizations, we will nurture young technical talents related to the green mobility and secondary battery industries through industry-customized education in areas such as secondary battery analysis and manufacturing, industrial robot application technology, and petrochemical plants."
