This event has been organized in conjunction with the '3rd Dobong-gu Youth Career Policy Expo' being held on the same day. The aim is to provide participating young people with the latest trends in the job market and practical information by job function, directly from current employees, so as to enhance their employability.

The event will consist of three parts. Part one, titled 'Town Hall Talk with the Mayor & Youth,' will open with District Mayor Kim Dongwook and young participants sharing their employment concerns and policy proposals. In part two, the Employment Special Lecture, the head of Korea’s largest recruitment platform—who previously served as an HR executive at Samsung—will give a talk on 'How to Achieve Employment Success Based on Your Unique Competitive Advantage in the Era of AI.' Part three, 'Small Group Mentoring with Current Employees,' will allow participating youths to network by visiting mentors in their fields of interest—a total of three sessions, each lasting 30 minutes—to ask questions about cover letters, interviews, job responsibilities, and more.

For mentoring, a total of 19 former and current employees from leading companies will participate, including: Samsung, Kia, KT, and LG in IT and engineering; HYBE, Amorepacific, and Aekyung in marketing and content; Johnson & Johnson and Qatar Airways in sales and service; Microsoft and SK Innovation in HR, planning, and analysis; and Bluepoint Partners, Hyundai, and SK in finance, investment, supply chain management, and procurement.

The event is open to around 200 young job seekers in Dobong-gu, with no participation fee. Applications can be submitted via the QR code on promotional materials posted in the announcements section of Dobong-gu’s website or on the representative social media channel ‘Dobong Youth Toktok.’

District Mayor Kim Dongwook of Dobong-gu stated, “I hope that this event, which gathers current employees from the companies and fields that young people aspire to join, will prove genuinely helpful to their job search efforts. We will continue to support youth employment through strong policy initiatives going forward.”
