The Seoul Metropolitan Government is set to host its largest international job fair this fall in an effort to address a growing disparity in the city's labor market. Local companies seeking talent with global experience and thousands of foreign graduates eager to build careers in Seoul are the primary targets of this recruitment drive.
Titled Seoul Job Connect 2026, the event is scheduled for November 18 at the SETEC convention center in Gangnam District. The fair officially kicked off on Monday, inviting local businesses to apply until October 16 on the event's official website to seek out bilingual talent, market analysts, and trade specialists. As Seoul solidifies its position as a leading global education and business hub, its transformation from a primarily regional manufacturing center to a top destination for international university students has been widely recognized.
Higher education analytics firm Quacquarelli Symonds recently named Seoul the world's top student city for the second consecutive year, highlighting the city's significant increase in student enrollment.
