Overview
Go on the ultimate adventure in South Korea with our Working Holiday program, made for those who want to immerse themselves in Korean culture while earning money on the side. What sets our packages apart is the year-round support and the option of a guaranteed, pre-arranged job placement as an add-on. We have a variety of hospitality and childcare jobs available in popular cities like Seoul, Busan, and Daegu, allowing you to quickly settle in and start earning. Before you start working, you will join a comprehensive four-week orientation in Daegu. This training gives you the essential skills and administrative support you need to thrive, from cultural training to assistance with setting up a bank account.
During orientation or for longer if you wish, you can stay in our shared housing in Daegu with other participants. It's a great way to make lifelong friends from all over the world. Want to learn Korean? We can also arrange a Korean language course for you. The entire program is designed to give you full flexibility and control over your experience.
Throughout your stay, our dedicated English and Korean-speaking team is available to help with everything from career guidance to everyday questions. With this continuous support, you can enjoy a stress-free experience and truly live like a local.
