Introduction

About Indonesia Career Day (ICD)

Since South Korea has emerged as the new favorite studying abroad destination among Indonesians, it is estimated that the number of Indonesian Students in South Korea is more than 1000 and the level of study is ranging from language schools to doctoral degrees. The rise of economic power, abundant amount of provided scholarships and South Korea's reputation as one of the world technology powerhouses and 4th largest economy in Asia contribute to this phenomenon. Besides developing academic ability, most young Indonesian talents are exposed to a multilingual environment and adapt to a culturally different place of living. This condition shapes them to be a great competent and potential talent. However, the current available job fairs and job seeking websites are not sufficient enough to engage these potential talents

Indonesian Professional Proportion in South Korea by Industry per September 2022

As September 2022, the number of Indonesia professionals in South Korea is estimated 350 individuals with Information technology industry scores the largest percentage with 22% of the total population. This is followed by media and entertainment with 17%, other engineering with 15% and finance with 14%. This shows the Indonesian talents are capable enough to meet the demand of human resources in South Korea.

Indonesia Career Day (ICD) 2024 is the second job fair held by the Indonesia Professional Association (IPA) in South Korea. Based on the desire to facilitate the delivery of information in the current era, this activity aims to provide information to Indonesian young talents regarding job opportunities available in South Korea and Indonesia after completing their studies. The target participants of this activity are Indonesian students and Indonesian job seekers but not limited to any parties who are interested in expanding their career either in South Korea or Indonesia and the industries which need foreign talents to diversify their human resources.

What's New?

What makes it different from ICD 2023?

In 2024, we are planning to hold the Career Workshop in Daegu & Career Fair fully online. Last year, we held the event offline in Seoul, and now we will hold the Career Fair fully online.

The reasons why we are holding the Career Fair online:

Global Accessibility
- Removes geographical boundaries, making the event accessible to a broader audience of jobseekers and employers globally, not just those who can travel to Seoul.
Increased Flexibility
- Attendees and companies can participate from the comfort of their homes or offices, enabling participation at their convenience and allowing for a larger, more diverse pool of job opportunities and talent.
Cost Efficiency
- Significantly reduces costs for both organizers and participants, including travel, accommodation, and venue expenses, making the event more inclusive.
