[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Agricultural Technology Center and Goodwill Store announced on the 15th that they have signed a business agreement to collaborate on creating jobs and supporting the independence of people with disabilities through donation campaigns of sponsored goods and regular support for healing agriculture services.

The Seoul Agricultural Technology Center has been regularly donating items and agricultural products collected through employee mutual aid activities to local community service organizations, and as part of its healing agriculture program, it supports strawberry farm experiences for 2,500 people annually.

The main contents of the agreement include ▲supporting goods through regular donation campaigns, ▲collaborative activities for job creation and independence of disabled employees at Goodwill Store, and ▲providing experiential education programs for Goodwill Store workers and staff.

The Seoul Agricultural Technology Center operates a healing agriculture program targeting 2,500 socially vulnerable people annually from December to April of the following year at the Life Agriculture Education Center. Starting with this business agreement, the center plans to provide the ‘Strawberry Farm Experience’ program, which has received the highest satisfaction, to Goodwill Store workers and staff, and to continuously promote collaborative activities for job creation and independence of disabled employees.

Cho Sang-tae, Director of the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center, said, “With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, vulnerable groups in our society are more likely to be marginalized, so we are pleased that the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center can support Goodwill Store’s efforts for job creation and independence of people with disabilities.” He added, “I hope this business agreement will serve as a model for public-private cooperation to help the self-sufficiency of people with disabilities and become a cultural movement.”
