[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled and the Sejong Special Self-Governing City Office of Education signed a 'Business Agreement for the Establishment and Operation of the Sejong Developmental Disabilities Training Center' on the 6th.

The Sejong Developmental Disabilities Training Center will provide employment-linked vocational training for people with developmental disabilities and operate 10 vocational experience centers where they can experience various jobs such as office administration, manufacturing practice, and service support.

The Sejong Special Self-Governing City Office of Education will assign specialized personnel in charge of career and vocational education to provide various services to people with developmental disabilities.

The Developmental Disabilities Training Center offers not only vocational training to strengthen the capabilities of young people with developmental disabilities preparing for employment but also various vocational experience services for school-age individuals with developmental disabilities.

Currently, there are a total of 13 Developmental Disabilities Training Centers in operation, including Seoul. This year, with the opening of six centers including Sejong, a total of 19 training centers will be expanded and operated across 17 cities and provinces nationwide.

The Sejong Developmental Disabilities Training Center plans to provide specialized vocational training through an informatization education center and manufacturing and service vocational training rooms.

In particular, reflecting the industrial status and training demand of the Sejong area, spaces will be established to enable specialized vocational experiences such as library assistant, office administration, linen, and nursing assistant.

Jo Jong-ran, the director of the agency, said, "We will strive to expand jobs for people with developmental disabilities and spare no support to help them achieve economic independence through employment."
