Jobs policy a benefit for disabled young people
Print Edition
THREE disabled people in Jiading have found jobs, out of the total 18 in Shanghai, benefiting from a new policy the city introduced last year of recruiting disabled people for civil service posts.
The policy was aimed at eliminating prejudice against disabled people in hiring for the civil service.
Currently there are 120 disabled people in Jiading, who are graduates with junior college or bachelor’s degree under the age of 35.
Even though they are employed, they found there are prejudices against them and their jobs are generally unstable and less well paid.
Hard working
Yang Xingyue, handicapped, works as a cashier at Shanghai Tongji Hospital. She was recruited in August after graduating with a junior college diploma.
Fang Zhou, director of the cashier department, said Yang is hard working. It took her less than a month to work independently, while others normally spent two or three months on training. Now for each registration, Yang spent less than 30 seconds, as fast as her other peers.
“I want to prove that I can do what others can do,” Yang said.
A graduate of the Technical College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Li Yu had taken the public servant test for several years but each time failed at interview due to his physical disability.
Thanks to the new policy, he is recruited by Shanghai Press and Publishing Bureau.
The third beneficiary in the district is Tao Zhecheng, who suffers from high myopia.
Recruited
He has now become a public servant with the Shanghai Relief Management Station thanks to the help from the district’s disabled association and China Democratic League Jiading Committee.
Zhu Xifeng, director of the station, acknowledged he was hesitant during the interview with Tao concerned with his eyesight, but Tao didn’t disappoint him.
“He works very hard and takes every opportunity to learn from senior staff,” Zhu said.
“I have failed many interviews and now I really cherish the chance,” Tao said.
