Busan Metropolitan City Women’s Cultural Center announced that it will hold the “2026 Promising Job Fields Briefing and Career Break Prevention Awareness Talk Concert” today (the 3rd) from 14:00 to 16:30 at the Grand Auditorium and lobby on the first floor of Busan City Hall.

This event is hosted by Busan Metropolitan City and jointly organized by the Busan Metropolitan City Women’s Cultural Center (Busan Metropolitan City Women’s New Work Center) and 10 Women’s New Work Centers across the Busan region.

Women’s New Work Centers provide customized employment support services for women whose careers have been interrupted due to marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, including employment and start-up counseling, vocational education and training, internships, and follow-up management.

The event will be held in two parts: (Part 1) a career break prevention awareness talk concert and (Part 2) a promising job fields briefing.

Part 1, the Career Break Prevention Awareness Talk Concert, will be held to build social consensus on the need for women to maintain their careers and to improve awareness of career break prevention. Under the theme “Careers: A Transition, Not an Interruption,” the session will feature open discussions among employed women and entrepreneurs sharing real-life experiences, along with advice from experts in the field such as HR managers and start-up consultants.

Part 2, the Promising Job Fields Briefing, will involve participation from 10 Women’s New Work Centers, each introducing their representative vocational training programs and employment-linked initiatives. After the event, attendees may visit booths in the lobby to receive one-on-one consultations by program and inquire about pre-registration. On-site 1:1 consultations will also be available for participants seeking employment or start-up opportunities.

In particular, the event is designed as a communication and empathy-centered forum that provides practical information, enabling women who have experienced career gaps to reflect on their experiences and explore future career planning directions.

It will also help female job seekers better understand the changing labor market and provide them with practical opportunities for employment and start-ups.

Lee Yeon-ak, Director of the Women’s Cultural Center (Director of the Busan Metropolitan City Women’s New Work Center), said, “Through this Promising Job Fields Briefing, we hope female job seekers will gain a better understanding of promising fields and receive support in designing vocational training and employment pathways that suit them.” She added, “We also hope the talk concert will serve as an opportunity for women to discover possibilities for continuing and transitioning their careers, and we will continue to provide support to prevent career breaks among women.”
