Gunpo Mayor Han Dae-hee is concentrating his policy efforts on expanding job opportunities and revitalizing the local economy. His plan aims to connect businesses with the talent they need while providing job seekers with practical employment opportunities to strengthen the local employment base.
Mayor Han stated, "On the 21st, 27 companies and over 450 job seekers participated in the '2026 Gunpo City Job Fair' held at the city hall's main conference room."
During the fair, 284 individuals conducted one-on-one interviews with companies, with 103 of them expected to be hired or invited for second interviews.
Companies from various sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, distribution, technology, and services, participated, providing direct hiring opportunities for job seekers.
Employment support programs, including resume and cover letter consulting and consultations with job-related organizations, were also offered. The fair was designed to ensure that job seekers received support from interview preparation to employment counseling all in one place.
Mayor Han views securing quality jobs as a key task for stabilizing citizens' lives and fostering local economic growth.
In particular, he is focusing on strengthening youth policies to help young people establish their living bases, including jobs, housing, education, and culture, within the region. He is also committed to creating a sustainable employment environment through business attraction and industrial base expansion.
A strategy linking urban space reorganization with economic revitalization is also underway.
Mayor Han outlined plans to connect transportation, industry, and residential functions through the development around the GTX-C Geumjeong Station and the industrial structure transformation of aging industrial areas, aiming to secure new growth engines for the region.
The goal is to ensure that the outcomes of urban development lead to business growth and job creation.
For citizens to feel the effects of job policies, it is crucial to follow up on event participation and interview outcomes to translate them into actual employment.
Above all, there remains a challenge to provide suitable jobs for young people and job seekers looking to transition careers while establishing a continuous employment support system that addresses local businesses' labor shortages.
Mayor Han emphasized, "Good jobs change citizens' lives, and business growth is an important foundation for enhancing regional vitality." He added, "I hope this fair provides new opportunities for job seekers and a chance for companies to meet the talent they need. We will strengthen practical employment support in line with local job demands."
Furthermore, Mayor Han plans to continue promoting field-centered, tailored job initiatives.
