○ Customized employment support services offered since July for foreign job seekers and companies hiring foreign workers in the province
○ Aiming to provide tailored job assistance for foreign job seekers and ease labor shortages for local companies

The Gyeonggido (Gyeonggi Province) Job Foundation announced on August 21 that it has launched the “Foreigner Job Support Center” to provide employment services for foreign job seekers and local companies seeking to hire foreign workers.

Operated online, the center offers career counseling and customized job information for foreign job seekers, while connecting companies struggling with labor shortages to qualified candidates, focusing on addressing workforce imbalances in the province’s industries.

The center primarily serves foreign residents in Gyeonggi Province, including marriage migrants, international students, and migrant workers. Applications can be made through the Gyeonggido Job Portal “Jobaba” (https://job.gg.go.kr), where users can access information on employment support programs for foreigners and receive tailored job placement services.

Companies seeking to hire foreign workers can submit recruitment requests through Jobaba and be matched with foreign job seekers who meet their requirements and desired qualifications. This system helps alleviate job vacancies in the province while enhancing the competitiveness of local businesses.

To further improve accessibility, an “International Talent Recruitment Online Booth” is also available within the Jobaba portal. By accessing the online booth through the “Jobs for Foreigners” menu at the bottom of the website, users can find resources, such as: special employment lectures for international students; employment programs for marriage migrant women; and job postings linked to the foreign employment platform, “KOWORK.” Both job postings and applications can also be submitted easily online.

Yoon Deok-ryong, CEO of the Gyeonggido Job Foundation, stated, “Through the Foreigner Job Support Center, we aim to efficiently connect foreign job seekers with companies, helping resolve labor supply issues in Gyeonggi Province and supporting the stable settlement of foreign workers.”
