What we want to buildThere is a strong need for a comprehensive E-Portfolio for people with disabilities to present themselves at the labour market in a better way. It comes with an intelligent Learning Management System (LMS), that will able them to alter their E-Portfolio at all time, everywhere and in the way they want it.To use that E-Portfolio effectively, we will build a platform, especially for hiring employers and people with disabilities, to find each other.Of course, there will be an extensive manual and a special training course to use it properly.ContextMany people with a disability still have no, or strongly reduced, entrance to the open labour market. It doesn’t seem to be the unwillingness of organizations, but rather their ignorance of the possibilities and the incapability of the people to present themselves in a proper way.One of the most important reasons why people with a disability fail to find a suitable job, is that they don’t know how to present themselves to be eligible for the jobs (that even sometimes are especially created for this target group).What we wantWouldn’t it be wonderful when:- people with disabilities would have the same confidence in finding jobs as people who do not have that extra handicap?- jobseekers with disabilities and employers would find each other as easy as it happens at the ‘normal’ labour market?- employers would have the real picture of people with disabilities, as people who can contribute as well as people without the extra handicap?We work togetherThere are six partners spread over Europe, with the same dream to enhance the position of people with disabilities at the common labour market.PHH Academie and ISAS from The Netherlands, EASPD from Belgium, Atempo from Austria, BCLL from Bulgaria and Viva Onlus from Italia. A strong team with all the competencies we need in this project. And if we need extra hands or brains, we have an extensive network.The Intellectual Output of SEE 2020We will build what is needed:1.An E-Portfolio framework which consists of two parts:a.Personal profile model: this includes all relevant information of the person with a disability;b.Several scripts for recording all relevant information needed to prove skills and competences for different types of disabilities. This makes the E-portfolio way more extensive than a regular CV.2.Based on the output of 1a (dynamic interactive E-portfolio) a tool (manual) will be developed for organizations that are involved in supporting people with disabilities to enter the open labour market.3.A training module for the use of the E-portfolio for professionals working in the area of supporting people with disabilities. The training module will be made available through real life teaching program and as an E-learning program.4.A Learning Management System (LMS). The digital combination of Supported Employment and the E-portfolio framework, makes it possible that all relevant new information (e.g. their latest acquired skills and competences) can be added everywhere and at all time by the people themselves and/or their jobcoaches. This makes the individual E-portfolio constantly up to date. This is of great importance since people in these positions often keep learning and improving themselves.5.A platform for jobseekers and employers, where they can find each other. Employers can upload their vacancies and jobseekers with a disability, can apply for the vacancies that they are qualified for, with their E-Portfolio. The platform forces the employers to put the vacancies in a way that every jobseeker can immediately check if that position is possible for him/her. The platform is only available for jobseekers with a disability! The platform will be web-based and accessible with an app.The way we workWorking with many partners asks for a strict way of working. We will establish a Management Board Committee with all partners. Every partner will be responsible for one of the IO’s and will appoint a Product Manager, who will meet digitally every month at the ‘Monthly Monday Morning Meeting’. Every Quarter they all will send in their progress reports and every six month there will be a Trans-national meeting in one of the countries of the partners. At these meetings our Associated partners are also welcome.What we want to achieveWe dream of a world where people with disabilities have the same chances and possibilities as people without them. The E-Portfolio will definitely help them in this dream, as will the ‘recruiters’ Platform. It is especially made for them to meet hiring employers.In the long runWe hope and expect that this system will enhance the position of people with disabilities at the common labour market. It will improve the self-esteem of people with disabilities to enter the labour market and it will open the eyes of employers to see a whole new group of skilled workers. And that will happen all over Europe because we will promote it actively.
