Education

Culture & Skills to Launch Careers in Korea

Korea has a unique business environment shaped by complex hierarchies, Confucian values, and unwritten workplace norms. Foreign employees often face challenges navigating these systems, which can impact both their daily work and long-term career growth. Additionally, there is frequently a gap between the education received in universities and the skills that Korean employers actually expect. Many foreigners find themselves functioning as “office foreigners,” handling sales, marketing, translation, customer service, partner management, online sales platforms, and more—sometimes outside the scope of their official job title. Our training programs are developed by foreigners, for foreigners. They equip workers to understand and navigate Korean business hierarchies effectively, helping them manage their day-to-day responsibilities while building the skills and strategies needed to advance their careers in Korea’s competitive and fast-paced work environment.
