This workshop was designed to provide discharged veterans considering returning to farming or rural living with an opportunity to experience the realities of the sixth industrial agriculture sector firsthand, supporting them in exploring diverse career transition paths beyond conventional employment.

Participants explored the structure of income generation based on agriculture and the process of preparing for a return to farming, while also examining job opportunities in the agricultural sector.

One discharged veteran who attended the workshop shared, "This became an opportunity for me to turn my vague plans for returning to farming into something concrete," adding, "Through the explanations and hands-on experiences in sixth industrial agriculture, I now have a clear idea of how to prepare for the future."

The Veterans Support Center operates a systematic career transition support program for discharged veterans who have served for five years or more, including workshops on employment and entrepreneurship, specialized commissioned education, career transition grants, and vocational competency development education subsidies.
