Experiential Internship (Korea)

An experiential internship in Korea is a fixed-term placement, usually two to six months, that offers work experience without any commitment to convert the intern to a permanent employee, common in public institutions.

Difference

A hiring-track internship is part of recruitment and can lead to a permanent job; an experiential internship ends when the term ends. Some institutions give alumni extra points in later hiring.

Working conditions

If interns work under an employer's direction they count as employees, so a written employment contract, minimum wage and social insurance apply. Openings at public enterprises are listed on Job-ALIO.

FAQ

Will I be hired after?: Not by design.
Do I get minimum wage?: Yes, if you are an employee.
