Job Coaching Training : Place, Train, Maintain for people with Intellectual Disabilities (ID).
Unemployment rate is very low (0,009%) among youth with ID in Turkey. In Europe, people with ID are unemployed on a long-term basis and their employment levels and economic activity fall well below that of even people with other types of disabilities. In Poland, very few are employed and there is no framework for supported employment. In Greece, although there is a greater access of people with ID in education and training, the families face with the relatively adequate social and financial support, and there is very limited access to employment. Thus, job coaching in the concept of supported employment can be considered a well-suited access to improve the sustainability in their jobs and facilitate the integration between the employers and co-workers without disabilities in the job environment. In this context, job coaching training of people with ID may contribute the facilitation of the long-term success in the job environment. Therefore, the aim of the project is to create a job coaching concept and a team of 20 Yeditepe graduates specialized in promoting employability of people with ID in Istanbul and develop a curriculum with “a Job Coaching Training: Place, Train, Maintain” module together with Polish-Greek colleagues and Down Turkey in 18 months' time, which can be applicable for nationally and internationally.
The participants of the project are from Yeditepe University (Turkey-S.Inal, N. Burcoglu, F.Subasi, S. Demirbas, R. Muammer, D. Takinaci, A. Kizildag, E. Ustun, A. Uzun, N. Seyedy), Alexander Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki (Greece- P.Tsaklis)
Akademia Wychowania Fizycznego Jozefa Pilsudskiego w Warszawie (Poland- B.Molik, G. Prokopowicz, J. Mucha) and
Down Turkey (Turkey- G. Bilgin, F. Ekmen, S. Aliosman).
The activities of the project are,
-Developing a model of training module of Job Coaching: Place, Train, Maintain,
- Structuring the "Training module manual on Job Coaching: Place, Train, Maintain"
- Preperetion of a transnational book titled with "Job Coaching for People with Intellectual Disabilities: Place, Train, Maintain the model for Turkey, Greece and Poland",
- Offering an elective course on the concept of supported employment and training job coaches for people with ID,
The similar activities are expected to be achieved in the partner countries, as well.
In the first year, the project focuses on organizing a workshop "Job Coaching: Place, Train, Maintain for people with ID" and preparing a Training Manuel. In the second year, an elective course to the students and the new graduates in the three partner universities will be offered. A transnational book titled with "Job Coaching for People with Intellectual Disabilities: Place, Train, Maintain the model for Turkey, Greece and Poland" will be prepared and a Symposium will be organized for the dissemination of the project. A scientific article will be prepared by the project team. The prepared brochures, posters and leaflets will be disseminated during the workshop and symposium, as well as after the funding ends. Internet facilities of the partner universities will be utilized; informative meetings, verbal presentations will be performed to sustain the outcomes of the project.
At the end of the project, we expect at least 10/30 students acquire skills and knowledge about job coaching enrolled to the course have intention to work as job coaches or be trainers of trainings after graduation. 10 person with ID will be placed and maintained as employees in work places for at least 3 months. Almost half of the employers will satisfy about the productivity of the employees with ID that is assessed according to Likert's scale. Regarding to the intellectual impact of the project, the written materials (transnational book, training manual, brochures, posters and leaflets) distributed to enterprises, governmental and non-governmental organizations seeking for qualified job coaches for their employees with ID will contribute on increasing the awareness and fulfilling the needs of the people with ID on this issue.
