Hello, everyone!
This is Vijob. 👋
The Gyeonggido Job Foundation (경기도일자리재단) is recruiting foreign job seekers who hope to find employment in Korea in 2026 in specialized professional fields.

This project is not just a simple job-preparation lecture. It is an employment support program that connects job readiness training → job events → job counseling → tailored job matching.

If you are a foreigner preparing for employment in specialized fields such as E-7 in Korea, please check this recruitment notice.
