Gwanak-gu Hosts Online and In-Person Job Fair to Connect Employers and Job Seekers

Gwanak-gu will host the "2026 Gwanak-gu Online and In-Person Job Fair" to expand opportunities for employers and job seekers to connect.

The district has held the combined online and in-person job fair for five consecutive years, drawing on the strengths of both formats. Over the past four years, 364 companies have taken part, and last year the event resulted in 201 hires.

The online recruitment portal will run for five weeks, from Sept. 28 through Oct. 30, on a dedicated website. Job seekers can browse open listings and submit resumes to participating companies at any time during that period.

Alongside the job listings, the portal offers a range of AI-powered career support services, including cover letter example generation and coaching, job-role recommendations and hiring-trend videos.

The in-person fair will be held Monday from 1:30 to 5 p.m. in the grand auditorium on the eighth floor of Gwanak-gu Office.

In addition to on-site interview booths staffed by company recruiters, the event will feature a range of side programs — AI interview simulations, career tarot consultations, personal color consultations, body composition checks and health counseling, as well as information booths run by affiliated employment support agencies.

This year, the district is placing particular emphasis on AI-driven personalized job matching. On top of the online career support services, the fair will operate an AI-based on-site matching and recommendation system on the day of the event, connecting job seekers with participating companies based on their qualifications and the companies' hiring needs. The system is designed to help job seekers more easily find employers and openings suited to them.

The fair is open to any job seeker. Those interested in attending or seeking recruitment and job-search consultations can contact the Gwanak-gu Employment Center for details.

Meanwhile, Gwanak-gu runs a broad range of employment support programs through its Employment Center, including job-search counseling and placement services, a mobile employment and labor consultation service, a vocational training academy, a youth employment initiative and the Gwanak Stepping Stone Jobs program — covering everything from job preparation to placement.

"I hope this job fair gives job seekers the chance to find positions that suit them, and gives participating companies the opportunity to meet the talent they need," Gwanak-gu District Mayor Park Jun-hee said. "We will continue to pursue effective employment policies that reflect the needs of both job seekers and employers, and actively support residents in finding work."
