The 2025 Disabled Employment Project is divided into three types: general jobs (347 full-time, 170 part-time), welfare jobs (737), and specialized jobs (100 visually impaired masseurs dispatched, 67 developmental disability care assistant jobs), recruiting a total of 1,421 people. The final selected participants will work from January 1 to December 31, 2025.


General jobs include full-time positions working 40 hours per week and part-time positions working 20 hours per week, performing administrative support and welfare service support tasks at administrative welfare centers and disability welfare centers.


Additionally, welfare jobs involve working up to 14 hours per week (56 hours per month) performing tasks such as environment cleaning, parking enforcement, and office assistance at social welfare facilities.


Specialized jobs include working 25 hours per week, dispatching visually impaired masseurs to senior welfare centers and senior citizen centers to provide massage services, and developmental disability care assistant jobs supporting care workers at elderly welfare facilities and hospitals.


Eligibility for participation in the Disabled Employment Project requires being a registered unemployed person with a disability aged 18 or older under the Disabled Welfare Act. Applications will be accepted from the end of November at district/county administrative welfare centers or private consigned project institutions such as disability welfare centers.


Detailed recruitment schedules and information about the employment project can be found on the district/county office websites (notices). Since recruitment periods vary by district/county, it is necessary to inquire with the resident district/county office.



Jeong Ui-gwan, Director of the Daegu City Health and Welfare Bureau, said, “We hope that providing jobs for people with disabilities will help improve their independent living and quality of life,” adding, “We plan to continue expanding opportunities for rehabilitation and independence for people with disabilities by providing various disabled employment supports and customized employment services.”
