Seoul to host international job fair for foreign talent

The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced Seoul Job Connect 2026, a major international job fair scheduled for November 18 at the SETEC convention center in Gangnam District. The initiative aims to address labor market mismatches by connecting local companies seeking global expansion with foreign graduates looking to build careers in the capital.

Local businesses interested in hiring bilingual talent, market analysts, and trade specialists can apply through October 16. The event follows Seoul's rising status as a global education hub, having been named the world's top student city for two consecutive years by Quacquarelli Symonds.
