□ The fair will be held as a large-scale integrated event based on cooperation among local government, industry, and academia, covering everything from corporate recruitment and job experiences and consultations to information on youth policies.

○ Job fairs that had previously been organized separately by individual institutions and universities will be brought together this year as one large-scale recruitment event, providing local young people with broader employment opportunities and companies with opportunities to meet outstanding local talent.

○ The event is particularly meaningful in that local employment-related organizations, including district offices, economic organizations, and local universities, have joined forces to provide young people with systematic support in one place, from job preparation through actual recruitment.

□ The event will feature a wide range of programs, including recruitment interviews and consultations with leading companies, live job sessions with current employees, artificial intelligence (AI)-based job consulting, and wellness and experience zones.

○ [Recruitment Interviews and Consultations with Leading Companies] Approximately 100 leading companies in the Busan area, including companies recognized for their appeal to young people, long-established local companies, and outstanding employers, will operate booths in the Corporate Recruitment Zone and conduct on-site interviews and recruitment consultations for local young people.

○ [Live Job Sessions with Current Employees] To deepen young participants’ understanding of different roles and help them prepare effectively for employment, current employees of participating companies will directly provide one-to-many job mentoring and question-and-answer sessions. Employees from approximately 10 companies will offer firsthand information on specific roles and practical tips for job preparation.

○ [AI-Based Job Assessment and Mock Interview Experience] Using artificial intelligence (AI), participants will be assessed on nine core competencies required for career planning and job preparation and receive recommendations for roles suited to them individually. They will also be able to practice a one-minute self-introduction and mock interviews and receive feedback.

○ [Youth Wellness and Experience Zone] A hands-on youth experience space inspired by the concept of a pharmacy will also be operated so that young people who are tired from preparing for employment can relax, enjoy themselves, and discover policies suited to their needs. Youth-oriented programs will include a Concerns Diagnosis Center featuring an archive wall, a Vaccine Lab offering keycap DIY activities, and a Sweet Prescription Center providing customized youth policy information.

□ Any interested young job seeker may apply to participate through September 18 at https://megajob.kr. On-site registration will also be available on the day of the event.

○ Commemorative gifts for an early-bird event will be provided to the first 200 young people who register in advance and visit the venue on the day of the event.

○ Further details about the event are available at https://megajob.kr. Inquiries may also be directed to the Busan Economic Promotion Agency at 051-600-1357 or the event operations office at 051-637-9492.

□ Kim Gwi-ok, Director General of the Youth and Industry-Academia Bureau of Busan Metropolitan City, said, “This fair is meaningful not only because it connects Busan companies and young people in one place, but also because local employment organizations, universities, and the business community are working together to support youth employment.”

She added, “We will continue to provide practical support from job preparation through actual recruitment so that our young people can learn more about good companies in Busan, gain opportunities to demonstrate their capabilities, and build their lives and careers in the region.”
