First, if anyone knows anything about Gimcheon College in Gimcheon, shout it out.


More broadly, though, are colleges reliable employers? I'm considering a summer camp job, but cannot find anyone with experience there.

Google searches and other research indicate that it is a bona fide institution, but I suppose that's no guarantee that they won't go acting a fool...

All sorts of institutes in Korea use the term 'college'. There's even a children's academy chain called Kids College. Gimcheon College could be a diploma-granting technical college licensed by the government, or it could be kindergarten with 20 students.

in Korea if you are in fact working for an institute of higher education, that may not be enough to guarantee a good job.... there are definatley dodgy colleges and unis as someone already stated, or unigwons set up under the name of a reputable university

really name doesn't mean a thing, despite what Koreans would have you believe (the reason for naming schools Yale, Oxford, or Harvard English Institute....and the other academies using the "College" title)
