This year, the job fair will expand its recruitment counseling booths by accepting advance applications from companies and institutions with actual hiring plans. For the 10 teams that successfully achieve on-site recruitment or collaboration, incentive payments will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Participating organizations include the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, Seoul Arts Center, NHN Link, and Pharmaresearch Cultural Foundation.

For the "Insight Special Lecture," Bok Joohwan, CEO of Think Organization Class, careers expert Bok Sunghyun, and writers Lee Ingang, Noh Sangho, and Ham Yooni will share strategies for job seeking and expanding the scope of artists' work. A new "AI Self-Branding Bootcamp," where participants will use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to create their own portfolios, will also be offered.

Additional programs for job seekers will include self-introduction consulting, coffee chats with professionals in the field, counseling on rights protection in the arts sector, and career profile photo sessions. Applications can be submitted through the job fair's official website until September 7; on-site registration may also be available depending on availability.
