Supported Transition and Employment
Director of Day Supports at WALK
Dublin, Ireland
About
WALK have developed and piloted two innovative programmes aimed at increasing the rate of employment for people with intellectual disabilities and Autism in Ireland.
WALK recognises that there is a very real gap in supports and services for people with disabilities to gain and sustain employment in Ireland, where we have the biggest Disability Employment Gap (DEG) in the EU.
WALK’s Supported Employment (REAL and RLT) Projects are funded through the Workability: Inclusive Pathways to Employment Programme.
In addition ; WALK PEER is a Supported Transition programme collaborating with partner schools to support school leavers, with additional educational needs, to bridge the gap to mainstream further education, training and employment.
Careers & Employment Facilitators (CEF) work with students in their final two years of school to develop ambitious and sustainable post school transition plans. For those students who choose to transition to mainstream further education, training, and/or employment the CEF continues mentoring and supporting them for three years after school.
