Benefits of a member
South Korea is not an easy country to live in. For new immigrants, it can bore and stress sometimes. But being around people who have lived here longer than you can provide an insight about anything you may need.
There are lots of benefits to being a member of UCISK. You feel more secure when you know you have people around who can care about you in times of need than being out there with no one around to talk, to, share an idea or ask a question or even share a drink. We believe UCISK organization is a place full of incredible individuals who have lived and worked in South Korea for over 20 years; they have a lot of experience to share with you, providing opportunities for development, learning and business connection.
UCISK members have access to information in South Korea from members in the field who have stayed in Korea for a long time. We provide information, resources and advice to help you keep current on the latest news, laws and issues in the community. Whether you are looking for housing, renting a car, opening a bank account, needing a phone-translating document, need a lawyer, we support you with the relevant information you need.
As a member, you’ll also get membership to your local chapter network so that you don’t feel lonely. Whether you need a job, you easily get connected to the job market through our members who are already working. Besides, you get access to our networking events we organize every year. These networking events provide an opportunity to meet and build a strong relationship with other members, businesses, professionals, students and potential contacts for future needs.
Being a member, you get information about events organized by the local experts, community, business forum and professional job fair, and events organized by the Seoul Global center.
The UCISK provides several advertising opportunities, allowing our members who own business to grow while expanding the community’s awareness of your business in and around the area. We help our members who are doing business to expand their market footprint with a strong social media campaign, print advertising, and a variety of other mediums in-an effort to help members’ marketing efforts.
