[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 18th that it will promote the '2021 Disabled Employment Project' to provide jobs for disabled persons aged 18 or older in the jurisdiction who are vulnerable to employment.

The county is helping to expand and revitalize various job sectors for disabled persons who have difficulty finding employment due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Basic mandatory education for participants in the disabled employment project will be replaced by online education by each job placement institution due to COVID-19 (including 2021 Disabled Employment Project guidelines, safety and health education, sexual harassment prevention education, disability awareness improvement education, etc.), and then the project will be promoted in earnest.

The disabled employment project period is from January to December this year, and participants are selected through a recruitment announcement process. A total of 66 people will participate: 26 in the general full-time disabled employment project, 6 in the part-time project, 30 in the disabled welfare employment project, and 4 in the specialized developmental disabled caregiver assistant employment project.

Park Eun-sook, Director of the Resident Welfare Division, said, “Through the implementation of the 2021 Disabled Employment Project, we hope to expand social participation opportunities for unemployed disabled persons, help secure income and improve their living conditions, and continuously discover jobs suitable to the aptitudes and abilities of disabled persons to realize disabled welfare through employment linkage.”
