Gwangju Transportation Corporation recently announced on the 24th that it participated in a rural return and resettlement field experience program in collaboration with Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do, contributing to urban-rural coexistence and regional economic revitalization.

In this training, conducted for 15 middle-aged and senior employees eligible for reemployment support, information related to rural return and resettlement that helps with life planning after retirement, as well as field experience activities, were provided.

The participants learned about the "Support Policies for Prospective Returnees to Farming and Measures to Expand the Rural Resident Population" at the Gangjin-gun Agricultural Technology Center, then visited nearby returning farming households to hear about successful farming know-how and challenges.

Both organizations plan to continue participating in overcoming the rural extinction crisis caused by low birth rates, aging population, and youth outflow, and to carry out various cooperative projects to revitalize the regional economy.

Jo Ik-moon, president of Gwangju Transportation Corporation, said, "We are promoting various reemployment support activities so that employees can worry less about life after retirement and plan a solid future," adding, "We will continue to lead the implementation of a vibrant organizational culture and practice urban-rural coexistence through diverse life planning programs in cooperation with the local community."
