Agricultural Internship Program: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Gain hands-on experience through paid placements on successful farms for new farmers in South Korea.

This program offers a structured way for individuals entering the agricultural sector to gain practical, hands-on experience through paid placements on established and successful farms.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for new farmers who are looking to build their skills through direct experience. It serves those who are beginning their journey in the agricultural industry and need to transition from theoretical knowledge to practical, on-site application. If you are looking to learn the day-to-day operations of running a productive farm, this program is built for you.

What you get

Participants are provided with paid placements on farms that have already established themselves as successful operations. Rather than just observing, you will be integrated into the working environment of an established farm. This allows you to learn modern farming techniques and management practices directly from those already working in the field, all while receiving payment for your time during the internship.

What it costs you

There is no monetary fee to participate in this program. The primary investment required from you is your time and effort. You will need to dedicate time to the initial application process and participate in the required interview stages to demonstrate your suitability for a placement.

The catch to know

It is important to understand that participation is subject to availability. Because the program relies on host farms, the number of available internships is limited. Your ability to secure a placement will depend heavily on the regional demand in the specific area where you wish to work, so availability may vary significantly depending on your location.

How to apply

  1. Confirm that you meet the criteria for being a new farmer.
  2. Prepare your necessary documentation for the application process.
  3. Submit your application through the appropriate official channels.
  4. Participate in the interview process conducted by the program organizers.
  5. Monitor official updates for placement opportunities in your preferred region.
