On February 25, the Dalian North Yellow Sea Economic Development Zone in Liaoning Province seized the golden period of job-seeking during the Spring Festival holiday to organize an on-site recruitment event. The fair aimed to precisely match enterprise labor demands with public employment expectations, supporting a strong start to the regional economy in the new year and fostering a dynamic environment where companies find talent and job seekers land suitable positions.
The event was bustling with activity and a warm atmosphere. Company recruitment booths saw a steady stream of inquiries, with applicants carefully comparing opportunities and actively engaging in discussions. Recruitment staff patiently explained job details, creating an environment full of entrepreneurial energy.
The job fair gathered 31 key enterprises from the development zone, focusing on core industries such as automobiles and parts, new energy, new materials, biopharmaceuticals, and equipment manufacturing.

The Spring Festival recruitment fair is a practical measure by the Dalian North Yellow Sea Economic Zone to optimize the business environment and strengthen employment services. It effectively addresses corporate hiring challenges while helping residents find jobs close to home.
In recent years, the zone has prioritized new energy and new materials as core growth drivers, with high-end equipment manufacturing and biopharmaceutical clusters expanding rapidly. This has continuously enhanced its appeal to talent.
To precisely align corporate needs with job seekers' aspirations, the zone has maintained a commitment to serving enterprises and supporting development. It has established a comprehensive service system, including regular activities such as "Afternoon Tea with Government and Business for Shared Development" and the "New Year Entrepreneur Forum," where officials listen to corporate needs and solve practical problems.
To tackle industry talent shortages, the zone actively promotes collaboration between government, universities, and enterprises. It has supported Dalian Polytechnic University's College of Art and Information Engineering in adding two new specialized programs—New Energy Science and Engineering, and Energy Storage Science and Engineering—approved by the provincial education department. Enrollment will begin this year, providing a sustained talent pipeline for industrial growth.
Leadership of the Dalian North Yellow Sea Economic Zone stated that the recruitment fair will serve as a catalyst for further improving the business environment and fueling high-quality development. In talent support, the zone will deepen collaboration with institutions like Dalian Polytechnic University, focusing on new energy and equipment manufacturing, and advance "order-based" and "oriented" talent training to ensure precise alignment with industry needs.
In service efficiency, the zone will act as a "premier service provider," enhancing project lifecycle support and implementing a 24-hour response mechanism for corporate requests with closed-loop resolution, effectively bridging the "last mile" in enterprise services.
Through targeted recruitment, retention efforts, and talent development, the zone aims to help enterprises thrive and enable professionals to build stable, fulfilling careers, contributing to a new chapter of high-quality growth.
