Supported Employment in Action (SEA)
This Development Partnership
aims to address the barriers faced by people with disabilities
accessing and staying in employment. Thus the DP will bring together
a partnership of key stakeholders and policy makers to strategically
review the existing social and economic policies and practices
relating to people with disabilities.
The DP will test bed the model
of Supported Employment as an alternative to traditional vocational
training and employment for people with disabilities.
Through the proposed transnational
partnership the possibility of transferring or adapting the model
of Supported Employment for other socially excluded groups will
be explored.
