It provided information on participation in public and private organizations related to the recruitment briefing session, information on employment support projects, and job search groups and recruitment tour groups.
This program, prepared by reflecting the opinions of college students with disabilities, became a venue for festivals full of information and entertainment. It provided convenience for college students with disabilities through chatting between avatars, as well as arranging stenographers and sign language interpreters, and provided information such as various events and performances, meeting with working seniors, and gifting of souvenirs for participants.
