[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 1st that it will operate the ‘Future Young Nongin Training Program’ for 21 second-year students of agricultural specialized high schools in Jeonnam from the 4th of this month to the 14th of next month to foster creative convergence future talents.

This program aims to cultivate farmers equipped with professional agricultural practical skills by moving away from skill mastery education, and the program will be operated by dividing students into groups of five or fewer.

The educational content is divided into agricultural environmental services, control of agricultural production facilities and agricultural engineering applications, convergence agricultural enterprises, and agricultural and livestock product processing fields, allowing students to receive in-depth education.

Also, using the advanced experimental practice rooms of Suncheon National University, the program is conducted through theory and practical training, focusing on cultivating future-oriented agricultural technology and on-site professional technical skills reflecting advanced agricultural technology trends.

Professor Kang Dae-gu of Suncheon National University said, “This program, the first attempt in agricultural education, will be a great opportunity for agricultural high school students to experience and study the future agricultural industry in advance, and I hope it will greatly help in career choices.”

Lee Hyun-hee, Director of Future Talent Division, stated, “We will make sure that the future farmer training course, conducted for the first time this year, establishes itself as an educational program that discovers and nurtures outstanding talents in agricultural specialized high schools.”
