He said that the presence of this disability job fair was also a collaboration between the Bandung City Office and the Bandung City Manpower Office.
“We involve persons with disabilities in carrying out the mandate of the law. There is one percent employment for people with disabilities for private companies," he said.
Furthermore, Soni explained, the disability job fair would later involve persons with disabilities participating in a series of events.
"So the concept is from, by, and for people with disabilities," he said.
The vacancies available at the disability job fair include private companies that are members of the Bandung City PHRI, retail stores, modern shops, and malls in Bandung City.

For information, International Day of Disabilities 2022 in Bandung City carries the theme Meaningful Participation Towards Sustainable Inclusive Development.
Finally, Soni hopes that the 2022 International Day of Disabilities will not be interpreted as a mere ceremony.
Far from that, he hopes that people with disabilities can have a fighting spirit and be competitive so that they grow into superior individuals.
"Disabilities have the same potential, the same abilities as us," he concluded. (ray)**
