[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 23rd that it has signed a business agreement with LH Gyeongnam Headquarters, the Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities Gyeongnam Developmental Disabilities Training Center, and the Hope Irum Association to create jobs for people with disabilities.

Through this agreement ceremony, five people with disabilities were hired at 'CAFE 215' located on the first floor of LH Gyeongnam Headquarters, and the hired individuals will receive barista job training at the Gyeongnam Developmental Disabilities Training Center.

Starting next month, coffee and beverage production and sales, as well as delivery services, will be carried out.

The city plans to expand various jobs such as barista and cultural arts through linkage with LH Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters for people with disabilities who have completed their employment. Through this, a system will be established for sustainable jobs rather than short-term employment.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu said, "Developing jobs for people with disabilities through cooperation between public institutions and the private and public sectors will serve as a good example in providing stable and decent jobs to people with disabilities who have difficulty finding employment," adding, "Furthermore, the work activities of people with severe disabilities in the local community will greatly help improve awareness of disabilities."
