Former South Korean Presidential Secretary Leads India–Korea Academic Collaboration Between Ivory Education and Jungwon University
Ivory Education Pvt. Ltd. has announced a strategic international academic collaboration with Jungwon University, South Korea, aimed at strengthening education-to-employment pathways for Indian students seeking access to Asia’s rapidly expanding technology and industrial sectors.
The initiative is being guided by Prof. Kang Sung Lee, Ph.D., former Secretary to the President of the Republic of Korea for Employment and Labor and currently Special Professor at Jungwon University. His involvement brings deep national-level expertise in workforce development and employment policy into the academic and international student engagement framework of the partnership.
Through its global digital education platform, Ivory Education will lead student outreach, admissions coordination, academic counselling, and pre-departure support, ensuring Indian students receive structured, transparent, and end-to-end guidance for accessing South Korea’s higher education system.
Located in Chungbuk Province, a key hub for industrial growth and innovation, Jungwon University is recognised for its applied, industry-integrated programs in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, advanced manufacturing, and engineering. The university maintains strong partnerships with corporate and research institutions, enabling students to gain hands-on exposure through internships, applied research projects, and industry-aligned training models.
The collaboration reflects a broader commitment to aligning international education with long-term workforce readiness, employability, and cross-border academic mobility.
Commenting on the partnership, Kapil Rampal, Director, Ivory Education, said,
“This collaboration represents an important step in building stronger academic bridges between India and South Korea. Our focus is on helping students navigate international education with clarity while connecting their academic journeys to meaningful professional opportunities.”
The initiative is expected to enhance academic exchange, institutional cooperation, and exposure to South Korea’s technology-driven education ecosystem for Indian students exploring global study and career pathways.
