Abstract

This article discusses a community service initiative implemented by Universitas Madani Indonesia in collaboration with SMK Telekomunikasi Brawijaya Blitar to promote employment opportunities in South Korea. The program responds to increasing global labor mobility and Indonesia's need to prepare vocational school graduates for overseas employment. Using a three-stage model—planning, implementation, and evaluation—the program included a socialization session that introduced students to the Employment Permit System (EPS), job requirements, language training, and cultural adaptation. The initiative successfully engaged students and addressed their concerns about rights, responsibilities, and challenges related to working abroad. The findings emphasize the importance of early preparation, institutional partnerships, and curriculum integration to equip students with global competencies. The program reflects a paradigm shift in vocational education toward international employability and offers a replicable model for future community outreach and workforce development efforts.

Abstract

In the context of globalization, the Korean language has emerged as a strategic asset in Indonesia, especially in labor mobility, academic exchange, and cultural diplomacy. This study explores how Korean language education enhances Indonesia–South Korea relations by enabling Indonesian workers to access employment through the Employment Permit System (EPS) and facilitating academic opportunities via scholarships and university partnerships. The Korean Wave (Hallyu) further fuels interest in the language, especially among youth, aligning cultural fascination with professional aspirations. Despite its growing prominence, challenges such as unequal access, limited qualified teachers, and high costs hinder equitable implementation. By adopting a qualitative methodology and analyzing secondary data, this paper argues for stronger policy support, digital solutions, and bilateral cooperation to expand language education. Ultimately, Korean language learning fosters mutual understanding, soft power, and long-term collaboration between Indonesia and South Korea.
