Workstep - how the best training and support programmes are helping disabled people gain their place at work
04 Feb 2010
The best providers of the Workstep programme have displayed a marked shift in the support given to disabled people to overcome mental, physical and personal barriers to get and keep a job, according to a report published today by Ofsted.
Improving progression to unsupported employment: a review of strategies developed by Workstep providers highlights the variety of approaches which a range of organisations have developed to help disabled people gain employment. The report finds the most effective Workstep providers actively promote the valuable skills disabled people can bring to the workplace, helping to break down myths about the roles disabled people can perform. The best providers were found to build good relationships with employers and ensure participants are well matched to the skills needs of local businesses and to the jobs available locally.
