Seoul National University of Science and Technology (SeoulTech) has successfully concluded a comprehensive job support program designed to assist students and graduates in navigating the global job market. The initiative was held in conjunction with the '2026 GLOBAL TALENT FAIR,' which took place at COEX Hall B from June 1-2.

The university's University Job Plus Center provided tailored pre-fair consulting services. These services included in-depth reviews of resumes and cover letters, as well as mock interviews, to better prepare participants for the fair's demands. This preparatory phase aimed to equip students with the confidence and tools needed to make a strong impression.

The pre-fair consulting allowed me to check my application documents, and then participating in the fair to submit documents and have interviews on-site was a meaningful experience.

At the fair itself, SeoulTech students and graduates were facilitated in their engagement with potential employers. They had the opportunity to consult directly with human resources personnel from participating foreign-invested and international companies. The program also supported students in submitting job applications and participating in on-site interviews, streamlining the recruitment process.

One participating student described the experience as "meaningful," highlighting the seamless transition from pre-fair document checks to on-site application submissions and interviews. Kim Byung-il, head of SeoulTech's Career Development Center, emphasized the program's value in allowing students to "witness the actual flow of the global recruitment market." He pledged to expand such practical, hands-on job support programs for students, graduates, and local youth.
