Training Course in Vocational Rehabilitation—Theory, Skills, and Tools for Vocational Support

About the Course

Meaningful employment enables a meaningful life in the community. Employment allows an individual to redefine their self beyond their identity as a person coping with challenges (Thomas & Fraser, 2009).

In the field of vocational rehabilitation within mental health, significant emphasis is placed on integrating individuals with challenges into the open labor market. This integration is founded on belief in their capabilities, while also prioritizing comprehensive support. This support involves various stages, from helping individuals understand their needs, inclinations, desires, and their surrounding world, to skill training and practice, leading to successful integration into employment. A key part of the vocational support worker's role in various employment services, who believes in the individual's ability to sustain meaningful employment, is to assist them in defining and identifying the diverse characteristics required for their work, thereby improving their performance in these areas.

This course will address key topics from the evolving and dynamic world of work, focusing on the integration of individuals with challenges into the workforce. Participants will learn skills and tools that enable the development of a working identity and career progression, acquire job search skills and support, and assist individuals in long-term job retention.

Key Course Contents: Concepts in the field of work in general and employment in the open market in particular, such as: characteristics of the world of work, job analysis.
