Employment is crucial for people's social integration, physical and mental health, well-being and self realization…whatsoever your abilities and disabilities are.


This website hopes to contribute to full employment of people with disabilities and will tackle barriers and gaps, facilitate stakeholder cooperation, develop innovative approaches and support Human Rights based initiatives.

 

EASPD represents close to 8000 service provider organizations across disability and across Europe. A considerable part of the EASPD membership provides job-related services or employment to people with disabilities. Employment and job opportunities, therefore, are high on the agenda of the service providers in Europe.

 

 

 

IBB 2

 

 

Duration 2 years: 1/10/2010 - 30/09/2012

 

The project     

 

"Equal opportunities for all!", this goal was formulated by the European Commission to enable people with disabilities unrestricted participation in society. Many ideas for integration in employment have already been set into practice.  Until now, persons with disabilities haven’t had access to jobs in the social sector which explains the missing tradition of employing persons with disabilities in this field. From 2003 to 2006, an inclusive training model was developed in order to train people with disabilities to become advisers for persons with disabilities themselves. With this training model, people with disabilities for the first time ever were able to participate in a vocational training in the social sector on European level.

 The main focus of the current IBB2 project is the interface between vocational training and employment. Adapted supporting systems which involve employers and the whole team in the workplace are needed to make this transition successful.

During the next two years a European project partnership will try to achieve this in close cooperation with persons with disabilities, service providers, vocational training schools, interest groups and social workers.

Challenges and opportunities

 

The particular challenge now is to acknowledge that roles have shifted: people with learning disabilities are no longer users, but have become colleagues The establishment of integrative teams results in a win-win situation for all participants: 

  • Access to the social sector as a new of employment for people with learning disabilities
  • Broadening perspectives through the creation of integrative teams involving all participants
  • Contribution to society by means of an active diversity management 

 

Project goals

 

The overarching goal is the development of a comprehensive support model with the focus on diversity management and mentoring. Creating jobs in the social sector as well as creating sustainable labour market opportunities.

  • Development of guidelines for the implementation of the mentoring model in each partner country.
  • Compiling a course concept and training material to successfully implement integrative care worker teams.
