The recruitment will be conducted through an open selection process targeting athletes registered with the provincial Disabled Sports Association, and employment contracts will be renewed annually. Once the hiring of disabled athletes is completed, Kangwon Land will provide salaries and performance-based bonuses to the athletes, while the provincial Disabled Sports Association will be responsible for the athletes' education, training, and overall preparation for competitions.

Lee Sam-geol, CEO of Kangwon Land, stated, "Through this agreement, we will support the social independence of disabled individuals by creating jobs and improving employment conditions for the disabled, fulfilling our social responsibility as a public enterprise." He added, "We will continue to work closely with the provincial Disabled Sports Association and the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled to promote the employment of disabled athletes."
