Gyeongbuk College of Technology holds 2026 job festival

Gyeongbuk College of Technology held the first of its 2026 Job Festivals over two days Thursday and Friday at Pine Tree Square on campus, drawing students and local residents alike.

The event was organized as part of a university innovation support project to expand career-exploration opportunities for students and community members and to boost motivation and interest in employment.

A range of tailored employment support programs ran throughout the festival to sharpen participants' job-seeking skills — including AI mock interviews, personal image coaching, free professional headshot photography and one-on-one career consultations with specialist advisers.

In addition, a variety of hands-on career experience booths were set up in partnership with on- and off-campus organizations and academic departments. A prize raffle tied to booth participation drew an enthusiastic response from attendees.

Going beyond simple information sessions, the festival centered on field-oriented programming so participants could directly experience promising career fields and gain practical hiring insights, giving them a concrete opportunity to map out their career paths and strengthen their employability.

Lee Su-jin, director of the college's Career Support Center, said the festival "provided a meaningful opportunity for students and local residents to personally experience diverse work environments and proactively explore their career directions, building on the foundation of the innovation support project."

The college plans to follow up with a second 2026 Job Festival in November, centered on in-depth job preparation programs.
