Average Time to Employment for Graduates: Just Two Months
Day1 Company's employment education brand Zerobase announced on the 29th that the employment rate of graduates from the 'Zerobase Employment School' last year reached 84%. This figure is significantly higher than the youth employment rate of 46.1% announced by Statistics Korea for the same period.
Last year, the job market remained unfavorable for job seekers as prolonged economic uncertainty led to a reduction in entry-level recruitment and a solidification of a career-oriented hiring structure. Despite these challenges, Zerobase achieved results by supporting students' employment through a curriculum focused on practical skills and a mentoring system with current industry professionals.

Zerobase operates employment schools across 14 job categories, including development, data analysis, PM, UI/UX design, marketing, finance and accounting, HR, and MD. Each program features current experts from major corporations and unicorn startups as mentors, providing competency-based education that can be immediately applied in the workplace.
As a result, the employment rate among non-majors who graduated from the Zerobase Employment School was 78%. More than half of the students began the courses without prior knowledge in their chosen field, yet on average, they succeeded in finding employment within two months.
Among last year's graduates, the youngest was 18 years old and the oldest was 46. Half of the graduates were job seekers or recent graduates, while the remaining 45% were individuals who pursued career transitions while maintaining their primary occupations, including office workers, self-employed individuals, and freelancers.
The program with the highest demand was the 'Backend Employment School', where the average starting salary for graduates was calculated at 37.03 million KRW. The Content Marketing Employment School achieved an employment rate of 93%, coming close to full employment for its graduates.
Kim Jihoon, Head of the Zerobase Division at Day1 Company, stated, "What matters more than the employment rate itself is that our students have achieved real transitions into the careers they desire." He added, "We will continue to provide substantial education and support so that anyone, regardless of age, major, or background, can start a new career."
