내용

Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Park Heong-joon, announced that it will hold the 2026 Busan 50 Plus (+) Job Fair tomorrow (June 26) from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Grand Auditorium, Conference Hall, and Lobby of City Hall.

The event is hosted by Busan Metropolitan City, organized by the Busan Senior Employment Support Center and the Veterans Transition Support Center of the Busan Regional Office of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, and sponsored by Busan Bank.

Held under the slogan "Turning Experience into Value, Creating Opportunities through Employment," the fair has been designed to provide adults aged 50 to 64 with diverse employment information and job opportunities while promoting positive awareness of continued social participation.

In particular, this year's event will feature a Digital Experience Zone showcasing hands-on programs in emerging industries, including drones, artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual reality (VR)-based job experiences. The program will help participants better understand rapidly evolving digital technologies while providing opportunities to explore promising future careers firsthand.

The fair consists of three main components: the opening ceremony, exhibition programs, and side events.

The opening ceremony will feature a virtual reality (VR) drawing performance, an opening performance, and a celebratory performance. Dr. Oh Han-jin, a specialist in family medicine, will also deliver a lecture titled "Healthy Habits for Staying Young."

The exhibition area will include an On-site Recruitment Zone with 40 companies offering direct and indirect recruitment, where job seekers can participate in one-on-one recruitment consultations and on-site interviews.

A variety of additional services will also be available to support job preparation and personal well-being, including career aptitude assessments, résumé and interview consulting, complimentary résumé photo sessions, health screenings, and health consultations.

In addition, the fair will operate a Promotion and Experience Zone for the 50 Plus (+) Life Redesign Academy, which supports life planning for middle-aged and older adults, along with promotion booths for middle-aged community groups and clubs, booths for related organizations, and a Digital Experience Zone, providing visitors with a wide range of information and interactive experiences.

Side events will include a special employment seminar and a Human Book Talk Concert.

The employment seminar will introduce job search strategies and practical ways for the 50 Plus (+) generation to leverage their career experience, while the Human Book Talk Concert will provide opportunities for participants to share diverse life experiences and reemployment stories and engage with citizens.

Jeong Tae-gi, Director General of the Social Welfare Bureau, stated, "This job fair has been organized to help connect the extensive experience and capabilities of the 50 Plus (+) generation with new employment opportunities. We will continue to implement a wide range of policies that support stable social participation and reemployment for middle-aged and older adults."
