Seocho-gu to Support Youth Overseas Employment at '2024 Global Job Fair' on 27-28

Global Job Fair with Participation from 421 Domestic and International Companies

Seocho-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) will operate a booth at the country's largest '2024 Global Talent Fair' for two days starting on the 27th to support young people seeking overseas employment.

The job fair, held at COEX in Seoul, is a large-scale recruitment event designed for global talents who wish to work for overseas or foreign-invested companies. It is hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and organized by Seocho-gu, KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency), the Human Resources Development Service of Korea, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Any young job seekers and foreign students who wish to find employment overseas or at foreign-invested companies can participate, and pre-registration is available through the '2024 Global Talent Fair' website.

The recruitment fair is divided into three zones: ▲Global Overseas Employment Zone ▲Foreign-Invested Companies Recruitment Zone ▲Foreign Student Recruitment Zone. In each zone, domestic youth can explore opportunities for overseas jobs and employment at foreign-invested companies, while foreign students can obtain information about employment in Korea.

More than 400 companies will participate, providing useful employment content for young people. Only pre-registered participants can have interviews at company booths, and they can also attend employment lectures and recruitment briefings through the JOB Concert.

Seocho-gu will offer one-on-one employment consulting at its booth, including ▲1:1 English and Japanese interview consulting ▲interview makeup ▲personal color diagnosis ▲AI mock interviews. Additionally, the district’s youth policy promotion booth will introduce information on the four major areas of Seocho-gu’s youth policies and youth employment support programs.

Previously, the district signed a business agreement last year with KOTRA and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea to establish a more professional foundation for young people’s overseas employment. At this job fair, the district has joined forces with these organizations through their network to nurture global young talents. Furthermore, following this job fair, Seocho-gu will hold an overseas employment concert during the first Seocho Youth FESTA week next month to further support young people’s overseas employment.

Mayor Jeon Seong-su said, “In this global era, I hope young people who wish to work at overseas local and global companies will gain opportunities to expand worldwide through this fair.”
