The Beijing Disabled Persons’ Social Security and Employment Service Center released the “2026 Beijing New Industry Skills Enhancement Activity Plan for Disabled Persons” on the 20th. The plan focuses on the digital economy and platform economy, targeting four major areas: digital home-based employment, e-commerce and new media operations, low-altitude intelligent applications, and cultural creative and intangible cultural heritage skills. Throughout the year, specialized training in new industry skills will be provided to at least 1,500 participants, helping disabled persons increase employment and income.
According to the plan, the 2026 training will prioritize groups such as disabled persons facing employment difficulties, those with low incomes, disabled university students, and individuals with severe disabilities.
The training will focus on these four areas to precisely match the employment needs of disabled persons. For digital home-based employment, courses including AI data annotation, AI copywriting, AI-assisted graphic layout, voice transcription and proofreading, and remote home-based customer service will be offered to help disabled persons with mobility challenges or travel difficulties achieve home-based employment. For e-commerce and new media operations, courses on short video filming and editing, self-media account management, basic livestream sales, and online store operations and management will be provided, with job placements in e-commerce platforms after completion. For low-altitude intelligent applications, skilled talent will be trained for the low-altitude economy sector, addressing job demands in agriculture, cultural tourism, and security. For cultural creative and intangible cultural heritage skills, courses on paper cutting, embroidery, weaving, pottery, cultural creative product design, intangible cultural heritage techniques, and livestream sales of cultural creative products will be offered, combining skill inheritance with employment and income growth.
Beijing will form a teaching team of no fewer than 20 members for new industry skills, gradually increasing the proportion of training in these areas, and building a replicable, scalable, and sustainable model for skills enhancement for disabled persons.
