Holistic Learning for Job Inclusion of People with Intellectual Disabilities
INCLUJOBS aims to tackle the great labour gap that exists in people with intellectual disabilities by promoting the employability of this group through the development of training material for the three main actors involved: special educators, the business sector and people with intellectual disabilities.
The specific objectives of this projects are:
- provide the necessary knowledge to special educators to guide and accompany people with disabilities in their search for employment;
- raise awareness of the importance of inclusive employment in the business sector, through informative material that informs them about the capacities of people with intellectual disabilities and the benefits of their employability;
- give people with intellectual disabilities the tools and conceptual and technical knowledge to seek and get a job in the economic sectors of Tourism, Manufacturing and New Technologies, as these are the ones that best suit their abilities;
- create a digital space (platform) of connection between the three actors involved that facilitates communication and networking, resulting in an increase in the employability opportunities of people with intellectual disabilities.
VITECO is in charge of the technical development of the INCLUJOBS platform, suitable for independent use by people with intellectual disabilities. It also represents the labour sector of the IT companies and provides knowledge about the needs and opportunities of this sector for the employability of people with intellectual disabilities.
