Busan City Signs MOU for Experiential Youth Internship Program to Promote Employment of Persons with Disabilities

내용

On April 10, Busan Metropolitan City, Busan Transportation Corporation, and the Busan Regional Headquarters of the Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to implement an experiential youth internship program aimed at promoting employment for persons with disabilities.

This initiative will provide young people with disabilities with opportunities to gain hands-on work experience and is part of the city’s broader efforts to foster a stable and inclusive employment environment. The program will be jointly operated by the city, a public enterprise, and a specialized employment agency, each contributing its expertise and infrastructure.

Key Roles:

◈ Busan City: Provides overall coordination and administrative infrastructure (facilities, training, counseling systems).
◈ Busan Transportation Corporation: Hires interns and assigns them to field positions to gain practical experience.
◈ Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities (Busan Office): Offers customized job training and foundational job readiness education tailored to the interns’ needs.

This year marks the launch of a new recruitment track exclusively for young people with disabilities. A total of 10 interns will be selected and placed at high-traffic subway stations where they will perform CCTV monitoring, safety patrols, and on-site inspections for approximately three months starting from June 9.

Interns will also participate in a 1:1 mentoring program to receive work-related guidance and support in adapting to workplace culture and interpersonal relationships.

Applications for this internship program will be accepted until April 18.

“This agreement marks a new chapter in our disability employment policy. By working closely with related organizations, we aim to move beyond simple job placement and create a systematic and sustainable employment model for persons with disabilities. We are committed to building an inclusive and warm city where everyone can grow together.”
