Kyungbok University: 2,200 Young People and Local Job Seekers Attend KBU Career Festival

More than 2,200 young people, local job seekers and others attended the 2026 KBU Career Festival, recently held by Kyungbok University at KBU ARENA on its Namyangju Campus in Gyeonggi Province. This was about 22% more than the 1,800 attendees initially expected.

The event was organized through cooperation between the university and the local community to expand employment opportunities for young people and local job seekers and support local companies in recruiting talent.

At the recruitment booths for outstanding local companies, attendees received company-specific recruitment consultations and took part in on-site interviews. Some companies offered interviews without requiring applicants to pass a document screening, helping connect job seekers with tangible employment opportunities.

Local organizations, including the Namyangju Employment Welfare Plus Center and the Gyeonggi Northern New Work Center, also took part, providing information on employment support policies and services for young people. Customized employment support was also offered using AI kiosks and programs linking online and offline services.

A wide range of people took part, including current students, graduates, international students, local young people, middle-aged and older job seekers, and students from specialized high schools. They shared employment information and communicated directly with companies.

A Kyungbok University official said, "We will continue to strengthen our cooperation with local governments and businesses, expand on-site recruitment connections and customized employment support programs, and support students and young people in the local community as they successfully enter the workforce."
