Choi Dae-ho, the mayor of Anyang, is taking steps to enhance women's employment and entrepreneurship capabilities in response to the AI era.
Mayor Choi announced that the 31st Women’s Career Festival will be held on the 16th in front of the Lotte Department Store in Pyeongchon, aimed at women with work experience who are seeking jobs.
Organized by the Anyang Women’s Human Resources Development Center and supported by the city, the event is themed "Connecting AI to Tomorrow (Job)," designed to assist women in exploring career paths and entrepreneurship in a rapidly changing digital environment.
Mayor Choi emphasized the need to support women in navigating the evolving job landscape due to advancements in technology, enabling them to discover jobs that align with their skills and capabilities.
The festival will provide information on promising future occupations and connect participants with companies for hiring and entrepreneurship consultations.
According to Mayor Choi, the event will be divided into three areas: an occupational information experience center, a women’s entrepreneurship support center, and an employment support center.
The occupational information experience center will introduce and provide hands-on opportunities for future promising jobs, such as AI ethics and security experts, AI prompt specialists, digital finance education experts, and social welfare practitioners.
This initiative aims to help women understand the changing job environment and explore new career paths.
The women’s entrepreneurship support center will showcase various female entrepreneurship cases in fields like lifestyle brands, travel platforms, and e-commerce, along with consultations from startup advisors.
The employment support center will feature nine companies, including The Care, The Trader Me, Dehuman Bridge, Scala Nursing Home, Lee Han Electronics, BS&Co., Overpower, Teracom, and Haechan Silver School, which will conduct on-site interviews for positions in administration, trade, marketing, design, production, social welfare, and healthcare.
The event is designed to allow experienced women and those seeking re-employment to experience future job roles and participate in company interviews and entrepreneurship consultations.
By providing support for career exploration and job opportunities in one place, the festival aims to broaden women's career choices and promote their participation in economic activities.
Additionally, auxiliary programs will assist job seekers with resume photo sessions, personal color assessments, and AI career prescriptions.
Mayor Choi expressed hope that the event will provide women with the opportunity to explore new careers and discover jobs that match their skills and capabilities amid the rapidly changing job environment due to technological advancements. He reiterated his commitment to continuously support women's employment and entrepreneurship capabilities.
