Korvia events: EPIK webinars and one party in Gangnam
The Korvia Fall Party took place inside the 15th Gangnam Festival on National Foundation Day, October 3 — a quiz show, challenge games, and a MacBook raffle at the KORVIA & KFTRA booth on Dosan-daero. More than 150 teachers, friends and school partners checked in. Next up: EPIK webinars and a spring party.
EPIK Spring 2027 agency applications are closed
As of October 2026, EPIK has told its partner recruiting agencies that agency applications for Spring 2027 are closed, so Korvia is no longer taking new Spring 2027 EPIK applications. Public-school jobs outside EPIK, such as direct hires by an office of education or a city program, very rarely go to teachers who have not taught in Korea before.
If this is your first teaching job in Korea, you still have two realistic routes:
