Working Holiday

Working Holiday

 I think we’ve learned a lot about Working Holiday in the last presentation. I already have known the system. In 2008, I went to Australia to study English and work there, so I had gotten the working holiday visa. When I stay there, I could meet many koreans and foreigner who had the working holiday visa. It was an exciting opportunity for me to do some traveling and to understand the culture of Australia. If I have a chance to visit Japan, I will get the working holiday visa. I want to learn Japanese and Japanese culture. So, I am studying Japanese whenever time allows from work.

 The working holiday program allows koreans aged from 18 to 30, to visit and experience one of 11 countries that have agreed to be partners of the program. Participants of the working holiday program may stay in one country as long as up to 1 year of maximum, and within this period the participants are given the opportunities to work and travel.

 The working holiday program was created under the mutual cooperation and establishment of Memorandum of Understandings between the Republic of Korea and 8 countries with the purpose of providing opportunities to individuals from each respective country to travel to korea, while allowing them to earn save money through short-term employment. Countries that have agreed to be partners of the working holiday program are Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, France, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Each year, the number of partnered countries is expanding.

 Therefore, I think it is basically a good system for university students. I recommend for you to take the opportunity without hesitation. I am sure that It will be an exciting opportunity for you to do traveling and to understand the culture of each other.

  2. Thank you for informing about working holiday.
    I didn't know it is possible to go to France with working holiday visa. Although I can't speak French it is quite attractive to people who love Europe.
