Gyeongnam Province, Receiving Agricultural Machinery Technical Training and Returning to Farming... Revitalizing Rural Areas

Expectations for Gyeongnam-Style Rural Job Creation Utilizing Retirees and Idle Rural Workforce

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services announced on the 16th that it is conducting basic agricultural machinery operation training as part of the New Middle-aged Rural Vitality New Work Project.

The New Middle-aged Rural Vitality New Work Project is a Gyeongnam-type rural job creation project that Gyeongsangnam-do has been promoting since 2018.

To successfully carry out this project, basic agricultural machinery operation training is being provided for three days starting today to new prospective employees of agricultural machinery rental businesses.

The training course consists of basic education to acquire agricultural machinery operation skills and education to improve practical skills at agricultural machinery rental business sites.

In particular, due to the difficult operation characteristics of agricultural machinery, the training is designed to prevent safety accidents that may occur on site.

It is expected that trainees who complete this training will be employed at city and county agricultural machinery rental businesses experiencing labor shortages, thereby revitalizing rural areas.

Kim Taekyung, Director of Future Agriculture Education at the Agricultural Research and Extension Services, said, "We will do our best to promote on-site practical customized agricultural machinery training courses to increase return-to-farming and return-to-village populations and help rural areas regain vitality."
