The government and KOTRA undertake various online and offline projects in order to raise awareness of excellent foreign-invested companies and create opportunities to connect young Korean talent with foreign-invested companies. Two important projects aimed at employment support are the Job Expo and the Job Fair for foreign-invested companies.
Job Expo for Foreign-Invested Companies
The Job Expo is the largest and oldest event with the longest history that has supported employment of foreign-invested companies since 2006. Over 150 foreign-invested companies participate in the expo. The expo consists of recruitment halls (1:1 in-depth interviews, job consulting) and additional events (job information sessions, employment consulting, special lectures, etc.).Job Fair for Foreign-Invested Companies
The Job Fair takes place during the biggest event week for foreign investment that is hosted around November every year. In-depth interviews are conducted for employment, and over 90 foreign-invested companies participate in the fair each year. To allow for hiring talent year round, online job fairs exclusive for foreign-invested companies are open on recruitment websites.Other Support

The Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Employment Information Service operate Worknet, a recruitment website that collects job information from private job portals and local government job portals.
