The city conducted an open recruitment and review committee process to provide stable jobs for people with disabilities and to assign positions tailored to participants' characteristics. As a result, the Dongducheon Federation of Disabled Persons' Organizations was designated as the private agency. The designation period is three years, starting from 2026.

The job project for the disabled is operated in various forms, including general jobs (full-time and part-time), assistive device managers, and welfare jobs. With this agreement, the welfare job sector will now be handled more professionally by the private sector.

In 2025, the Dongducheon Federation of Disabled Persons' Organizations participated as the implementing agency and managed 94 welfare job participants. Based on a year of operational experience, the stability and expertise of the project are expected to be further enhanced going forward.

Mayor Hyungduk Park stated, "Through this agreement, we will further strengthen the foundation for people with disabilities to demonstrate their abilities and work," adding, "We will continue to do our best to expand job opportunities and support self-reliance for people with disabilities."

A representative of the Dongducheon Federation of Disabled Persons' Organizations said, "We will continue to actively support customized job placement and job expansion for people with disabilities."
