At the same time, as the organizers emphasized, the central focus will be representatives of remote regions.

The project objectives are to assist persons with disabilities in mastering new jobs, adapting and integrating into a digital society. "Each of the project participants can expand his/her knowledge in this area and start own business," said Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Protection Nariman Mukushev.
