The Daejeon Special Education Center held a 'Career Experience Festival' to provide students with disabilities the opportunity to explore potential career paths.

On October 24, the Daejeon Special Education Center hosted the event with around 200 participants, including students from middle school special classes and representatives from external organizations.

Under the theme "My Dream is Growing, Designing Tomorrow," the event was organized in collaboration with the local community to enhance the career competencies of students with disabilities and to promote vocational education.

The experience was divided into career experience and leisure culture experience, with 17 booths run by middle school special classes and external organizations.

The career experience booths included K-Bakery, Healing Massage, and Cartoon Webtoon by Woosong Information College; making scented sachets by the National Sejong Arboretum; "Dicle" and making pet rock friends by the East Daejeon Disabled Sexual Violence Counseling Center; and 3D pen artwork by Provo Edu Co., Ltd. There were also activities such as making goods, cookie packaging and jewelry box making, calligraphy keyring creation, and a campaign on integrity.

The leisure culture experience booths offered activities such as "Life in Two Shots" (photo booth), K-Beauty and caricature drawing, and digital virtual reality experiences. By closely cooperating with external organizations to provide a diverse and meaningful range of career experience content, the event received an enthusiastic response from the students.
