On the 22nd, the Jeongeup Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled held a meeting with about 40 stakeholders to enhance the smooth operation of the disabled employment program and strengthen cooperation between placement agencies.

During the meeting, practical information such as program guidance, service regulations, and salary-related document preparation was shared. They also discussed ways to address on-site challenges and improve the direction of the program.

This year, the welfare center has set the core goal of the employment program as 'qualitative growth' and plans to focus on job adaptation and job stability through systematizing participants' work attitudes and strengthening on-site management.

In 2026, the welfare center plans to employ 176 disabled individuals, an increase of 20 from the previous year, with a total budget of 2.62 billion won. They operate customized job placements for different types, including 54 general administrative assistants, 87 welfare job placements, 9 visually impaired massage therapists, and 26 severely disabled public job placements.

A welfare center official stated, "We are pursuing the program with a focus on economic self-reliance and expanding social participation," adding, "We will strive to help disabled individuals work stably in the local community through close cooperation with placement agencies."
