This event will take place at a logistics and IT experience facility in Inagi City, Tokyo.

### Free Participation, Plus a Present at the End

The work experience facility is equipped with actual sorting machines used at Pal System's logistics centers, as well as original videos, panels, and tablets. The program takes about one hour, allowing participants to enjoyably learn about the home delivery system. A present will be given at the end of the program.

Pal System delivers over 10 million items in total to 800,000 households every week. This event will showcase the system that reliably delivers a large volume of goods by utilizing logistics sorting equipment and information systems. It also helps participants understand the trends of modern society, such as the rapid spread of digitalization. The sustainable mechanism of reducing food loss through advance ordering of food ingredients via cooperative home delivery services will also be explained.

Pal System has been conducting work experience programs since 2023. Including the acceptance of workplace experiences from local elementary and junior high schools and other educational institutions, over 1,700 people have participated to date. Children have expressed their enjoyment, with comments such as "Shopping on the tablet is fun" and "I want to experience more."
