내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will host the “2025 B-IU (Busan-Industry&University) Job Bridge Day (hereinafter referred to as Job Bridge Day)” from today (27th), beginning with Dong-Eui University, and continuing through late October at six universities in the region.

This event is part of the City’s industry-academia-linked field training connection (Bridge) project, jointly organized by Busan Technopark and local universities, and has been held annually since 2022.

Last year, the program was carried out at three universities in the region (Pusan National University, Pukyong National University, and Kyungsung University). This year, it has been expanded to six universities with the addition of Dong-Eui University, Busan Institute of Health & Environment University, and Dongseo University.

The name “Bridge” embodies the City’s intention to serve as a bridge linking local talent with companies. By broadening points of contact between youth and businesses, and by cooperating with universities, the City aims to strengthen employment support programs based on industry-academia cooperation.

At Job Bridge Day, interactive programs will be offered, including “Tailored Employment Special Lectures” and “On-site Corporate Information Sessions” that combine dialogue between corporate managers and working-level employees.

The “Tailored Employment Special Lectures” provide students with opportunities to learn about business etiquette, resume writing, practical interview techniques, hiring trends, and successful job-seeking strategies, through programs tailored to each university’s characteristics and needs.

The “On-site Corporate Information Sessions” will feature HR managers and current employees visiting universities in person to vividly convey information about recruitment procedures, corporate culture, welfare systems, and job performance experiences. The candid stories of these employees are expected to serve as valuable guidance for young people to better understand local companies, appreciate their appeal, and envision future career paths that may lead to employment.

This year’s event will be joined by regional companies from diverse industries, including Ananti Cove, CK Bridge, and Paradise. These companies plan to generously share information about specific job roles, recruitment processes, innovative corporate culture, employee welfare levels, and practical advice based on employee experiences, thereby helping students resolve questions and make concrete career plans.

The City expects that Job Bridge Day will provide young people in the region with opportunities for career exploration and job preparation, while also contributing to raising the visibility of outstanding local companies and supporting their efforts to secure talent.

Kim Gwi-ok, Director General of the City’s Youth & Industrial-Academic Support Bureau, stated, “Job Bridge Day goes beyond a simple corporate information session to become a forum for communication and exchange where young people can discover their potential, and grow together with companies in mutual prosperity. We will continue to actively develop and expand practical industry-academia cooperation programs so that the City will be recognized by young people as an attractive city full of job opportunities.”
