[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency received a commendation from the Governor of Gyeonggi-do in recognition of its contributions as an "Outstanding Public Institution for Mandatory Employment of Persons with Disabilities." This commendation is awarded to individuals and organizations that have contributed to the promotion of employment for persons with disabilities.

The agency was recognized for faithfully fulfilling its mandatory employment obligations by hiring more persons with disabilities than the legally required number for three consecutive years since 2020. In particular, it has systematically managed the employment rate by continuously monitoring the status monthly and quarterly to ensure there are no shortfalls in mandatory employment of persons with disabilities.

Since 2021, as the number of regular employees with disabilities exceeded 20, the agency appointed a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for persons with disabilities to provide professional job counseling and improve employment management for employees with disabilities.

Yoo Seung-kyung, Director of the agency, said, "This commendation recognizes the efforts the agency has made in mandatory employment of persons with disabilities and practicing social responsibility. We will continue to make company-wide efforts to promote the employment of workers with disabilities."

The agency signed an agreement with the Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities in 2009 to promote employment of persons with disabilities and has maintained this agreement for over 10 years, striving to create employment opportunities for persons with disabilities.
