Gwangju Nam-gu Completes Job Placement for 234 Disabled Persons in the District

Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City is providing jobs to 234 people with disabilities in the district, taking strong steps toward the world in their new workplaces in the Gapjin year.

The first workplaces of the new year include local dong administrative welfare centers, welfare facilities for the disabled, and related organizations.

Their goal is to achieve economic independence and work as equal workers in a world without discrimination by demonstrating their abilities.

The Gapjin year job project for people with disabilities is a ray of light that relieves their difficulties in finding jobs, which is usually not easy, especially in the already tight job market for people with disabilities.

Baek Eun-young said, "There were many difficult times because of my hands moving differently from my will, but I felt the pride and joy as an artist when I completed my work," adding, "Since this might be my last opportunity, I will work with a joyful heart and do my best, and it will be an opportunity to love my disability."

People with disabilities in the district will work from as little as 14 hours per week to up to 40 hours by the end of this year, depending on the type of job at their new workplaces.

They mainly perform roles such as administrative assistants, welfare service support staff, environmental maintenance workers within various facilities, meal assistants, and nursing care assistants, engaging confidently as members of our society.

A Nam-gu official stated, "In the serious situation of job scarcity for people with disabilities, the job project for the disabled is their only hope and plays a significant role in promoting social participation and enhancing self-esteem," adding, "We will ensure that people with disabilities in the district experience great happiness through participation in the job project."
