Park Seung-won, the mayor of Gwangmyeong, initiated on October 20 efforts to enhance employment opportunities for citizens and stimulate local job growth.
On this day, Mayor Park held the '2026 Gwangmyeong Job Fair' at the Gwangmyeong Citizens' Gymnasium, featuring a recruitment support program that connected job seekers with companies.
The fair included participation from 30 companies in Gwangmyeong and nearby areas, offering job information across various sectors such as administration, production, logistics, healthcare, and services.
Of these, 25 companies conducted one-on-one interviews with job seekers at the on-site recruitment area, while five companies accepted application documents through an indirect recruitment area.
Mayor Park also provided customized support to enhance job seekers' employment capabilities.
Organizations such as the Gwangmyeong Job Center, Gwangmyeong Women's New Start Center, Gwangmyeong Employment Welfare Plus Center, and the Seoul Western Middle-aged Tomorrow Center participated in offering employment counseling and related information targeted at youth, women, and middle-aged individuals.
Additional activities included resume photo sessions, personal color assessments, and artificial intelligence (AI) career aptitude tests to help job seekers identify their strengths and prepare for employment.
In the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) promotional area, four companies—Cozy Glow, MEND, ESGi, and Aitlin—showcased eco-friendly products and sustainable management practices.
An outdoor flea market organized by the Gwangmyeong Women's Vision Center was also held at the Gwangmyeong Citizens' Gymnasium.
Mayor Park stated, "The job fair is a valuable opportunity for job seekers and companies to meet directly and explore new possibilities." He added, "We will continue to discover hiring companies in various fields and expand quality job opportunities and tailored employment support services for all citizens."
Mayor Park expressed hope that the fair would broaden employment options for job seekers and provide companies with opportunities to secure the talent they need, thereby contributing to local job growth.
