by Mr. Masaya ASAHI
Training Report - Vocational Rehabilitation Course 2007
The first week had past very quickly and today we had the last lecture of this week.
Today, the participants learned about the current situation of employment of persons with disabilities in Japan. Mr. Masaya ASAHI, a member of Planning Committee, explained about employment in open labor market and sheltered employment. Some of the participants were interested in community based small scale workshops and sheltered workshops but the participants also understood the very importance of employment of persons with disabilities in open labor market.
