Our project, Training as Vehicle to Employment, has been contacting governmental organizations and institutions in a dozen European countries to establish if their trainee and internship programs are open to qualified people with disabilities. The results are published here.
Today, the catalog includes: 267 disability organizations that can give local advice, 113 places to volunteer, along with disability information from 991 universities, in 62 countries.
Use our disability information checklist for universities and for businesses to improve the information you provide for students and trainees with disabilities. We welcome comments on these.
If your organization has a policy for including people with disabilities among staff, volunteer workers and clientele and you would consider hosting trainees or volunteers with disabilities then please register.
Study and Work Abroad for All was a three year Independent Living Institute project financed by the Swedish General Inheritance Fund (Allmänna arvsfonden) at the Swedish Ministry of Social Affairs. Project contacts are:
Nicoletta Zoannos
and
Philip Day. The goal of the project is to increase the participation of people with disabilities in international study, training and volunteer programs. The organizations, companies and universities that participate in the project can update their information themselves.
