Training as Vehicle to Employment Project - 2006/2007

Project Priorities

Promote training positions at your countries state agencies and open them to persons with disabilities
In order to influence state agencies to create training positions, project participants intend to start competition between agencies and among countries by ranking agencies and countries. To do this in Ireland work has begun on compiling a list of government agencies who have the following five key components:
1. Formal training programs for qualified persons
2. Formal training programs which explicitly welcome applicants with disabilities to apply
3. Written diversity policies that explicitly include persons with disabilities as clients and staff
4. Written action plans for making their premises and activities open to persons with disabilities
5. Specific budgets for financing their action plans

List the training positions that disabled persons can apply for
In promoting training positions at state agencies it is predicted that we will come across agencies that
1. Are on the way towards a mainstream disability policy, action plan and its implementation
2. Have created training programs geared exclusively to disabled people
3. Are willing to discuss disabled applicants' access needs on an individual basis without promising that persons with all disabilities can be accommodated in their training programs
