On September 27, Gyeonggi Province will host the 2016 Gyeonggi Province Foreign-invested Companies’ Youth Job Fair, a major job fair undertaken in partnership with 30 foreign-invested companies including Electric Glass Korea and Hoya Electronics Korea at the GSBC Center.

Despite the fact that Gyeonggi Province accommodates more than 3,400 foreign-invested companies, the second largest number of foreign-invested companies in the nation following Seoul, such companies in the province have been experiencing recruitment difficulties.

According to requests by the foreign-invested companies, the province decided to host a job fair geared exclusively for foreign-invested companies.

“The foreign-invested companies in Gyeonggi Province are relatively small in terms of scale, but are highly competitive as they feature superior technical skills,” said Kim Neung-sik, director of Gyeonggi Province’s Investment Promotion Division. Kim also added, “The job fair will be an ideal opportunity for young people who are willing to seek employment at a foreign-invested company.”

Gyeonggi Province will operate a preliminary-matching team consisting of recruitment experts at the fair. For those who submit their resumes beforehand, exclusive services will be provided including individual job interview consultations, job interview time reservations, and consistent follow-up services for participants who did not find employment at the job fair.

Public institutions including the Ministry of Employment & Labor, the Gyeonggi Regional Human Resource Development Committee, the Human Resources Development Service of Korea, and the Korean Industrial Technology Association will also participate in the job fair to provide customized information to the job seekers.

The 2016 Gyeonggi Foreign-invested Companies’ Youth Job Fair is open to all job seekers who seek employment in Gyeonggi Province. Advance registration is also possible via the job fair website (www. gafic.or.kr/job). 

Inquiries can be directed to the Gyeonggi Province Support Center for Foreign-invested Companies (031-259-6521).
