Inha University’s University Job Plus Center recently held the “2026 First-Half Job Fair” with great success.

This fair was organized to provide students with practical direction regarding career paths and employment through direct communication with working professionals. Since its inception in 2017, the event has been expanded to twice a year in response to high student demand.

This year’s fair was held under the theme, “My Job Story: Hearing Directly from Alumni.”

A total of 39 professionals participated as mentors, representing fields such as management support, sales/marketing, logistics, production/R&D, semiconductor processes, and AI engineering. These mentors, employed at 30 companies including major domestic and multinational firms, provided practical advice at each booth based on their actual job responsibilities and field experience.

Around 1,500 participants, including enrolled students, graduates, and local youth, attended the event. Through Q&A sessions with alumni, participants improved their understanding of various roles and resolved questions about the recruitment process. The program received high satisfaction ratings for offering concrete insights into actual workplace duties.

Interest was especially strong in semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) roles, reflecting recent industrial growth. The “IPP Zone,” featuring companies from the IPP-type work-and-learn program, was also crowded with students. Additionally, organizations such as the Central Regional Employment and Labor Office and the Incheon Metropolitan Government’s Youth Policy Division provided information on government employment services and policies.

President Cho Myeong-woo said, “The job fair is a key opportunity to turn vague career concerns into a concrete understanding of specific roles,” adding, “Communication with professionals will help students understand the industry and design their own career paths.” He continued, “We will continue to expand field-oriented employment support programs for both our students and local youth.”
