Lecture on Process of Vocational Rehabilitation in Japan
Training Report - Vocational Rehabilitation Course 2007
Back in JICA Tokyo for the afternoon's lecture.
This afternoon's lecturer, is a member of Planning Committee of this training course. He works for the Vocational Center of Japan Organization for Employment of the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities (JEED), the National Institute of Vocational Rehabilitation.
We learned about major services to assist employment of persons with disabilities and the relevant organizations. Many of participants were especially interested in Job Coach and Trial Employment system in Japan, which seem applicable to their countries. Some participants were surprised to realize the vocational rehabilitation is not about vocational training only.
He described the process of vocational rehabilitation in Japan using the charts. With these charts in hand, the participants will be able to see easily which part of the vocational rehabilitation process they are visiting or learning about in the coming up lectures and visits.
