In an effort to promote economic independence and employment opportunities for people with disabilities, the city of Daegu will host the "2026 Daegu City Job Fair for People with Disabilities" at 2 p.m. on May 13, at the indoor gymnasium of the Daegu Vocational Competency Development Institute.

Organized by the city of Daegu and jointly hosted by the Daegu City Association of the Korea Association of Welfare Centers for the Disabled and the Daegu Regional Headquarters of the Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities, the job fair targets unemployed individuals with disabilities and special school graduates in the Daegu region.

The event is expected to serve as a practical recruitment venue that directly connects companies wishing to hire persons with disabilities with job seekers, providing quality job opportunities for people with disabilities and offering companies a chance to discover outstanding talent.

A total of 28 companies will participate, offering on-site recruitment interviews, job consultations, resume and cover letter consulting, information on vocational training and employment support systems, and job information—all provided as a one-stop service covering the entire job-seeking process.

In particular, Daegu City plans to focus on enhancing the effectiveness of on-site job matching between companies and job seekers through tailored employment support services that take into account the type and characteristics of each job seeker’s disability.

Additionally, sign language interpreters and volunteers will be stationed throughout the venue to ensure participants can take part in the fair without inconvenience. A variety of hands-on activities, such as making perfume bookmarks, corn starch bath bombs, and sock yarn coasters, will also be available as special side events.

People with disabilities who wish to participate in the job fair should bring their disability registration card and resume, and visit the indoor gymnasium of the Daegu Vocational Competency Development Institute on the day of the event.

At last year's fair, 350 people took part in on-site interviews, resulting in 39 participants being successfully hired.

Lee Jae-hong, Director of Health and Welfare at Daegu City, stated, "I hope this job fair provides the joy of employment for people with disabilities and a valuable opportunity for companies to discover outstanding talent. We will continue to pursue various policy measures to ensure that disabilities are no longer a barrier to employment."
