Gyeonggi Province will hold the “2025 Gyeonggi Province 5070 Job Fair” on the 9th at Suwon Messe. Starting with this fair, the province will launch the “Gyeonggi 5070 Great Job Tour (Gray it-job tour)” in the second half of the year, visiting all 31 cities and counties in the province.

The “Gyeonggi Province 5070 Job Fair” is a customized employment linkage event targeting middle-aged and older adults aged 50 to 70. This year, it is particularly noteworthy for including enhanced “career transition support functions” compared to last year. It goes beyond simple on-site hiring, offering introductions to related job sectors and customized program guidance for middle-aged individuals seeking career changes. Through counseling and information provision tailored to job seekers' experience and desired roles, the event aims to reduce anxiety about career transitions and expand their options.

About 1,000 people are expected to be hired at this fair, with about 100 companies participating, including KB Golden Life Care and CJ Freshway. In particular, KB Golden Life Care will hire about 100 full-time employees on-site to secure manpower for Gwanggyo Village, which is scheduled to open in September.

The fair will feature ▲job fairs ▲job fairs/promotion booths ▲job preparation booths ▲job experience booths ▲celebratory performances, and other diverse programs. At the job fairs, representatives from large and medium-sized companies will directly explain job duties and working conditions. Additionally, over 30 related institutions, including the Korea Asset Management Corporation, the Korea Housing Finance Corporation, and the Labor-Management Development Foundation, will participate to provide customized counseling on employment, entrepreneurship, welfare, and finance.

Gyeonggi Province plans to actively promote middle-aged-friendly employment policies such as “Baby Boomer Light Jobs” and “Baby Boomer Internships” through this fair.

Job seekers aged 50 to 70 can apply in advance through the fair's website or by phone, and can also participate on the day of the event after registering on-site. All procedures, including resume writing, photo shooting, and employment consulting, will be supported on-site.

Jeong Doo-seok, Director of the Gyeonggi Province Economic Affairs Bureau, stated, "The second baby boom generation, born between 1964 and 1974, began turning 60 last year. This generation, numbering 9.54 million, is the largest demographic group in our society, making employment stability and re-employment support extremely important at this time. Gyeonggi Province will strive to improve the employment environment for middle-aged and older adults through the 5070 Job Fair.”
