Anyang City in Gyeonggi Province will invest 3.4 billion KRW next year to promote a job project for 236 people with disabilities.
On the 29th, Anyang City announced that amid the ongoing economic downturn in Gyeonggi, it will increase the budget for the job project for people with disabilities by 200 million KRW compared to this year to support income security and independence by providing opportunities for social participation and work experience for people with disabilities.
Anyang City previously completed the selection of participants by publicly recruiting unemployed registered persons with disabilities aged 18 or older in the area. The participants will work in various places such as public institutions, welfare facilities for people with disabilities, cafes, and hospitals from January to December next year.
The types of jobs include ▲ 70 general jobs (53 full-time, 17 part-time) ▲ 129 welfare jobs ▲ 30 daily life jobs for people with developmental disabilities ▲ 4 assistant caregiver jobs for people with developmental disabilities ▲ 3 assistant device manager jobs for people with developmental disabilities.
Among these, the daily life jobs for people with developmental disabilities are a specialized project fully funded by the city, where participants will work as baristas, childcare assistants, and office assistants in cafes, hospitals, and daycare centers.
Mayor Choi Dae-ho of Anyang said, "We have been continuously promoting job projects to establish a foundation for the independence of people with disabilities and improve their quality of life," adding, "We will discover and expand quality jobs to create an Anyang that grows together with people with disabilities."
