Korea Circle Partners Marks 10th Anniversary with Disability Awareness Training, Championed by Chairman Cho Hyun-beom’s ‘Win-Win’ Vision
[미디어펜=김연지 기자] korea Circle Partners, a subsidiary of Korea & Company group, recently conducted experiential training for 50 employees of the Korea Employment Agency for the disabled, aiming to foster greater understanding and acceptance of individuals with disabilities. The program, dubbed ‘On (ON) Court,’ combined lectures with hands-on wheelchair badminton, allowing participants to directly experience the challenges and triumphs of adaptive sports.
The initiative stems from a disabled badminton advancement and employment awareness agreement signed at the group level last year and underscores Chairman Cho Hyun-beom’s long-held “win-win” philosophy. Participants engaged in one-on-one rallies, played alongside disabled athletes, and gained firsthand insight into the disabled sports community-expanding upon traditional, theoretical disability awareness education. The training also aligns with Korea & Company Group’s sponsorship of the National Badminton League.
“This experience-type education has been able to understand and sympathize with the meaning of the employment of the disabled more deeply,” a group official stated.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Korea Circle Partners, established in 2015 as a pioneering social enterprise within the domestic tire industry. The company currently employs approximately 160 individuals, both with and without disabilities, across five business categories: laundry, bakery, cafes, car washes, and office management.
