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
