dafür - Long-Term Employment for People with
Disabilities
The objective for project “dafür” (in German,
playing with the meaning “to be for it") is to increase the number of
positions on the job market for people with disabilities.
|
Under the motto “long-term jobs for people with disabilities”, the
project has been mandated by the Federal Welfare Office, and is
supported by finances from the Employment Offensive of the federal
government for people with disabilities, and the European Social
Fund (ESF).

Project “dafür” has been running since July 2005 and will finish in March
2007. The consulting project is constructed of three modules. These three
modules are as follow:
Modul 1 - Regional integration
capabilities: An organisation concept developed for the integration of
people with disabilities
Modul 2 - Regional business-orientated
networking: Operating models designed to create work places for people
with disabilities up to the implementation of those positions within
companies
Modul 3 - Networked implementation: All concerned
providers will know the new model, its functions and work effectively in
the implementation of it
Merlin Business Consulting is responsible
for the model in Module 2 and is currently working on developing an
operating model for promoting the support of putting people with
disabilities into the workplace and providing support services for
employers. A business club has been established in which members are
companies who “therefore” give people with disabilities a chance.
Currently, this club has 87 members.
Further information about this
project can be found here.
The
project is being conducted in the Vorarlberg region. It is however also
made up of national cooperative projects in Tyrol
and Lower
Austria, as well as internationally
with Finland,
Belgium,
the Netherlands
and Hungary. These
cooperations also ensure the support of new ideas, which can be locally
integrated if appropriate.
