Nowon District Mayor Oh Seung-rok Attends '2024 Nowon-gu Disabled Job Fair'

On the morning of the 16th, Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, attended the '2024 Nowon-gu Job Fair for People with Disabilities' held at the Nowon-gu Office auditorium.

The '2024 Nowon-gu Job Fair for People with Disabilities' was organized to avoid a formalistic fair and to expand opportunities for social participation through economic independence by providing customized jobs for people with disabilities.

The fair venue was divided into ▲Recruitment Hall ▲Promotion Hall ▲Job Experience Hall ▲Side Event Hall. In the Recruitment Hall, 30 companies participated across 18 booths in the corporate recruitment section, conducting customized job interviews according to disability types and job categories. In the Promotion Hall, six local organizations related to jobs for people with disabilities participated to promote their institutions and provide job vacancy information.

In particular, the Job Experience Hall, which received great response last year, attracted many visitors again this year. Various job experiences were offered, such as making badges from paintings created by people with developmental disabilities, diffuser empathy experience with a poet with cerebral palsy, and Braille business card making experience with visually impaired individuals. In the Side Event Hall, a photo shooting and printing service was provided for job seekers to use for interviews.

Post-event support is also provided to job seekers who participated in the fair. After the fair, employment status and adaptation after employment are checked, and for unemployed people with disabilities, continuous employment counseling and linkage are provided.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, "People with disabilities face many more obstacles in finding jobs than non-disabled people," and added, "We will strive to provide various job support so that even one more person can gain opportunities."
