Dys in education, professional life and work

<< Objectives >>Dys in education, professional life and work focus on the inclusion challenges of young people with learning disorders or Dys job seekers and workers, in their transition from the VET sector to the labour market. By targeting relevant stakeholders we aim to raise awareness about the barriers faced by neurodivergent people in the workplace and encourage reasonable accommodations and adaptation of the recruitment process to support young people with Dys disorders advance in their careers.<< Implementation >>The project consists of 4 working packages and contributions of 5 partners including guidance services, VET providers and researchers specialised in supporting people with learning disorders. An initial desk research of EU-policies and interviews with target groups will inform the development of an eLearning platform for Dys workers and job seekers they will test, with relevant modules, adding a neurodiversity support guide for employers and recruiters consulted, including tools and resources.<< Results >>We will produce a guide adapted to key actors in VET and the labour market to show the benefits of neurodiversity in the workplace and how reasonable accommodations can help productivity, inclusivity and overall well-being. We will create an EU-policy analysis, online tools to measure inclusivity in the workplace and a tool for recruitment specialists to support neurodivergent workers in career advancement and the long-term expected outcome of better employment of neurodivergent people.
