Ulju-gun in Ulsan will hold the 2026 Ulju Startup and Jobs Festival on Thursday at the Ulju-gun Startup and Employment Support Center in Gokcheon-dongmun-gil, Ungchon-myeon.

This year's event, themed "Happy Ulju, opened by my job," will be organized into four zones: education, participation, hands-on experience and exhibition.

The education zone will feature an employment consulting concert titled "Finding My Job in the AI Era," along with practical workshops on using AI to prepare job application documents, using ChatGPT to create startup promotional materials and business plans, and strategies for attracting investment. Smart farm startup training and hands-on cooking classes — including fruit mochi, sweet potato bread and dosirak preparation — will also be offered.

The participation zone will host a job-matching day with four companies — Jisan Housing, Sunwoo FA, Segye Food and Dounuri Senior Welfare Center — along with startup and employment counseling sessions. The hands-on experience zone will offer 3D printer workshops, personal color and image consulting, tarot-based career readings, calligraphy and caricature programs.

The exhibition zone will feature product displays from startup companies, a small and medium-sized enterprise promotional hall, and a mobile career-planning service run by the SME Management Support Center. Education sessions and special lectures can be registered through the center's website, and some hands-on courses require a separate materials fee.
