Gangneung City has set an ambitious goal to create 23,954 local jobs by 2026, aiming for an employment rate of 66.7%. This initiative is part of a comprehensive employment policy that focuses on sustainable and quality job creation tailored to the unique characteristics of the region and its industries.
The city plans to implement four core strategies to enhance the local job market: activating the employment market, strengthening job policies, supporting stable employment services, and establishing a future job economic foundation. These strategies will be executed through 13 key initiatives and 346 detailed projects, ensuring a robust approach to job creation.
As Gangneung prepares to host significant events like the 2026 World Masters Table Tennis Championships and the ITS World Congress, there is a clear focus on leveraging these opportunities to boost local industries such as tourism, culture, and sports. This forward-thinking approach not only aims to increase job numbers but also to create a sustainable employment ecosystem that benefits all citizens. How will these strategies shape the future of employment in Gangneung and inspire other cities worldwide?
