The overall objective of the proposed action is to increase the employability of people with intellectual disabilities (PWID) in Osijek, Bjelovar and Šibenik in the open labour market and to provide access to meaningful vocational activities for those individuals unable to access open market employment. The expected results of the action would be to, through extensive training of two members of the supported vocational services for people with intellectual disabilities (SVS) in Osijek, Bjelovar and Šibenik, to include 30 – 45 people with intellectual disabilities in paid vocational activities in the open labor market. The three local SVS teams will provide training on self-determination and social skills to 30-45 PWID involved in this action. At the end of the project period, we plan to hold the workshops for potential employers in Bjelovar, Osijek and Zagreb as well as the final Conference in Zagreb.
