[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Korea Policy Media announced on the 19th that the "Agricultural Job Experience Education" course, organized by the Rural Development Administration's Education and Culture Information Service, will be launched on the 9th of next month.

This course is operated by Korea Policy Media, a specialized agricultural education institution, and has introduced a "Batch Season System." The Batch Season System divides batches to allow participants to experience crops according to their monthly growing seasons and sets theme item groups suitable for each season, enabling trainees to have practical farm experiences they desire.

Each batch will recruit 80 participants on a first-come, first-served basis, and the 1st and 2nd batch courses will be conducted online starting May 9th. The theme item groups for the first batch are "Vegetables" and "Fruits."

Additionally, a small practice support fee will be provided during the field training course, and 80 hours of education (recognized by the Agricultural Education Portal) will be accredited.

For application inquiries, contact Korea Policy Media, and detailed education programs for each batch can be found at the Return-to-Farming and Rural Living Comprehensive Center.
