The Korea Immigration & Integration Program (KIIP) is a government-led educational program designed to help foreigners residing in Korea and those wishing to naturalize to successfully settle in Korean society.
The program offers an educational system where participants can comprehensively learn not only the Korean language but also Korean culture and institutions, providing great support for foreigners who wish to live stably and stay long-term in Korea.
From a corporate perspective, it enables smooth communication among members, reduces trial and error caused by cultural differences, and shortens the adaptation period within the organization.
