Mainstreaming Disability Equality: An ITC-ILO On-line Course 7 June โ 4 December 2010
Rationale
Barriers which disabled people face in getting jobs and taking their place in society can and should be overcome through a variety of policy measures, regulations, programmes, and services .Women and men with disabilities can and want to be productive members of society. In both developed and developing countries, however, they are often hampered by the barriers faced in receiving basic education, attending skills development courses and finding employment, as well as by inaccessible physical environments, public transport and information, and by widespread misunderstanding of their working capacity and their potential as active members of society.This course aims to contribute to the inclusion and empowerment of disabled people in societies and more specifically in the world of work, with a view to ensuring income security, decent working conditions and full participation. It has been designed as a joint effort by the ILO Disability Team, which promotes equality of opportunity and treatment for persons with disabilities in vocational rehabilitation, training and employment and works to increase knowledge on the training and employment of people with disabilities, and the International Ttraining Centre of the ILO, which is putting its learning methodologies and applied technologies at the disposal of this ultimate goal.
In order to achieve the set objectives, the course proposes basic knowledge and awareness of the issues, as well as practical tools, (such as guidelines and other concrete instruments) to be used in day-to-day professional practice.
