Run by IBDD’s Job Placement Program, the Center promotes disabled professionals’ readiness for work, fostering the positioning of these professionals at the formal work-market and raising awareness on disabled people’s competence and aptitudes at the workplace.
To achieve this goal, IBDD – besides courses provided at IBDD’s headquarters – has been articulating new partnerships with key actors that work in the area of social inclusion, such as SENAC (National Service of Commerce Learning Skills), SENAI (National Service of Industry Learning Skills).
The Readiness for Work Center’s objectives are the following:
To provide professional training with high quality standards;
To cater for all the different types of disability and distinct sectors of the economy;
To offer technical support to corporate human resources departments, by offering
customized courses on evaluation, selection and follow-up of disabled professionals;
To produce, systematize and disseminate knowledge on disabled people’s professional
growth and human rights issues through workshops, meetings and interviews with
business representatives;
To have a demonstrative effect showing that the disabled people’s different limits do not
mean the reduction of specific professional aptitude;
