Objectives
Interest of the DP’s consists in improving the possibilities of employability, self employment, job retention and re-integration disabled people on labour market.
The common methodology arises from the conviction that disabled people can fully exploit their employment potentials, rather than getting supported.
The main problems that have been assessed are:
1. The lack of know how on how to adapt their professional projects.
2. The lack of motivation of disabled on looking for job opportunities, keeping their jobs, and foreseeing the labour market trends.
3. The lack of networking (supporting bodies, committees, policies…), that can enhance their skills, their access to job opportunities, social integration and better opportunities.
4. The lack of job opportunities when aging become a fact.
5. The lack of access to the labour market for the disable in general and more specifically for the weak sighted people, for persons with hearing impairments and physical disabilities.
6. The need of a specific coaching device.
7. The lack of employers’ interest in hiring disabled persons.
8. The existence of stereotypes and ‘negative’ social image.
