The course participants visited Vocational Center for Persons with Disabilities and Public Employment Security Office (PESO) in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture.

At PESO, each participant tried the search of job opportunities on computers. Some of the participants were very happy to find a good job with an excellent salary.
In the afternoon, the participants tried 4 types of vocational evaluation tasks. Mr. Yamashina, chief vocational counselor, explained that it is not the time or results that the counselors are evaluating but also the attitude or concentration that the persons with disabilities demonstrate while engaging in the tasks.
After the observation tours, Mr. Yoshihiko NONAKA gave lecture on the Vocational Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities in Japan and also on Job Coach system in more details. This was the second time to receive a lecture by Mr. Nonaka and the participants were very happy to meet him again today.
