What adult education and vocational training programs are available for foreigners in Korea? I want to learn new skills or retrain for a career change while living here.

There's a lot available. Public options include the HRD-Net portal (work24.go.kr) for government-subsidized vocational training, and many courses are open to registered foreign residents with an ARC. Polytechnic colleges and local lifelong learning centers (평생학습관) run affordable skills courses, and the National Internet-based Lifelong Education Institute offers online classes. For language and settlement, the KIIP program and Multicultural Family Support Centers help, and the Seoul Global Center runs free classes and job support. Check eligibility per program, since some subsidies depend on your visa type.
