IMPROVING THE PROFESSIONAL PROCESSES OF OCCUPATIONAL REHABILITATION

The priority project EFOP-1.9.3-VEKOP-17 “Developing the professional processes of occupational rehabilitation” aims to establish and operate a Centre for Rehabilitation Development in order to increase the effectiveness of complex rehabilitation, to renew and modernise occupational rehabilitation through its professional research activities and to implement rehabilitation professional development. Implement developments directly supporting employment for people with disabilities, in particular by supporting the adaptation of jobs for people with disabilities. One of the project’s milestones is to simplify rehabilitation processes, to reduce the duration of administrative procedures by training and developing relevant experts and consultants, and to improve the employability of people with disabilities. The improvements provided by the project will greatly contribute to improving the employment situation of people with disabilities. Another milestone of the project is to increase the social integration of people with disabilities, to improve their life chances (including their chances of employment) with the further development of the rehabilitation professional system, which is complemented by the development supporting the employment of people with disabilities, as well as the promotion of the adaptation of jobs for people with disabilities. The project will establish a Rehabilitation Development Centre in order to achieve the above objectives and, in particular, to coordinate professional methodological developments. Interdisciplinary contacts and professional dialogue with those involved in occupational rehabilitation are strengthened in the process of professional research and methodological development in the project, both at county and national level. As a result of the training provided to professionals, the preparedness of professionals working in the field of occupational rehabilitation will be improved and help to prevent burnout due to continuous loads. As a result of the methodological developments of occupational rehabilitation, methodological materials with higher professional content and quality are prepared, using which training courses serve to prepare professionals in the field, to increase their knowledge, to homogenise their professional knowledge and thus to integrate people with disabilities into the labour market. The dissemination of the results of the project helps to standardise the knowledge and competences of those working in the field. As a result of developments that directly support employment stimulation, the employability of the target group included in the project will increase after the successful completion of the trainings supported by the project. In order to increase the number of employers open to the employment of people with disabilities, a network of consultants will be established. The staff of the Network, in addition to the purchased sensitising awareness-raising service for employers, the planned rehabilitation engineer service, promotes the development of clients and the awareness-raising of employers through the provision of occupational rehabilitation services and operates the grants available in the project (adaptation of workplaces, training and livelihood support, housing support). The toolkit, consisting of the service and support elements available in the project, complements the grants of similar projects and is suitable for meeting the specific development needs of people with disabilities with complex occupational rehabilitation problems, along with synergistic effects, and promoting their sustainable reintegration into the labour market on a lasting basis. In addition to general information and knowledge, an Occupational Rehabilitation Portal will be established to facilitate labour demand and supply matching for the target group. The portal helps to ensure that information, professional knowledge, good practices, experience, information is shared and accessible in one place related to the employment of people with disabilities, as well as online applications will be developed to spread the possibility of teleworking to the benefit of the employment of people with disabilities and the employment of the target group. 800 project participants will be employed as a result of the use of grants directly facilitating employment and the employer’s awareness-raising, the services and operation of the portal.
