Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will hold the “2025 Busan Career and Employment Expo for Persons with Disabilities” on September 2 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the first-floor lobby, main auditorium, and subway concourse of City Hall.

At this expo, the “Disability Job Fair” and the “Career Planning Academy for Students with Disabilities” will take place simultaneously. Organized through collaboration among disability employment agencies in Busan, the event aims to promote optimized recruitment between companies and persons with disabilities seeking employment, while also providing students with disabilities the opportunity to explore suitable careers and plan their futures.

The City and the Busan Metropolitan City Office of Education are co-hosting the event, with the Disability Employment Integrated Support Center and the Special Education Support Center of the City Office of Education serving as organizers. The event is sponsored by KB Kookmin Bank, Busan Bank, KORAIL Retail Busan-Gyeongnam Headquarters, Ananti, Brian’s Lab Co., Ltd., First in Korea Co., Ltd., and Urban Farmers Agricultural Corporation.

This year’s expo will feature a wide range of programs including pre-employment counseling (consulting), corporate recruitment booths, job experience booths, career planning booths, special employment lectures, and side events.

Pre-employment counseling (consulting) will be held the day before the expo, on September 1, at the Education Research and Information Institute (5th floor) of the City Office of Education, where participants can receive guidance on resume writing and mock interview practice.

In addition, side events such as smart farm and cosmetics manufacturing/packaging job experiences, photo sessions for application documents, and styling support for job interviews will be offered.

Approximately 2,000 participants are expected, including job seekers with disabilities, students with disabilities, hiring companies, and related stakeholders. Fifty-four companies seeking to hire persons with disabilities in office work, production, and service fields plan to recruit a total of 224 job seekers with disabilities.

Participating companies include Busan Bank, Coupang, NCSoft Service, Hanseoldang, Brian’s Lab, Inje University Busan Paik Hospital, and Samjin Food, among others.

Of the 54 companies, 24 will conduct on-site interviews on the day of the expo, while 30 indirect participants will accept applications online or on-site, with interviews conducted separately according to each company’s schedule.

Persons with disabilities hired through the event will work in fields such as financial office work, esports player management, online monitoring, game-related customer consultation, office administration, building management, cleaning, passenger services, and taxi driving.

Persons with disabilities who wish to apply can submit applications not only on-site but also online through the official expo website (busandisabilityjobfair.kr
