BeInclusive: Inclusion of people with disabilities in SMEs

BeInclusive will support job placement trainers to include people with disabilities in employment at SMEs.

Vocational jobs are often harder for people with disabilities to access. The BeInclusive project wants to change that by focussing on increasing employment of people with disabilities in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). During the lifetime of the project, the partners will produce learning materials for job placement trainers who can use this knowledge to motivate SME employers to hire people with disabilities. 

Aims

The project’s main aim is to develop and support practices that promote the employment of people with disabilities in the open labour market. The Be Inclusive! project will develop micro-learning videos that show various aspects of inclusion of people with disabilities within a company. The idea is to motivate and enable small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to employ people with disabilities.

Main target groups

  1. Job placement educators
  2. Management at SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises)
  3. People with disabilities 

Objectives

The general objectives of the project include:

  • Motivation and awareness raising to employ and train people with disabilities.
  • Providing basic information on the topic
  • Integrate people with disabilities better and more sustainably into work processes
  • Improving the placement success of people with disabilities
  • Development and use of digital, innovative learning material / exchange of experiences and examples of practice from different areas and countries

Activities

  • Brochure “People with disabilities in the labour market: placement, inclusion and sustainable employment in SMEs” with the goal to foster SMEs’ motivation to employ people with disabilities to deliver essential information, to support sustainable integration into the labor market. 
  • Learning videos for SMEs to support the integration process of people with disabilities. These videos will deliver concrete suggestions and practical tips.
  • Complementary Material to the Learning Videos offering further learning possibilities for in-depth self-study and for use in practice. They are designed also for implementation in trainings in the field of Inclusion and labor market.
