Job Shadow is an annual work scheme by the IASE.
|
 |
Annual means it happens once a year.
|
 |
IASE stands for Irish Association of Supported Employment.
|
 |
Job Shadow week ran from Monday 25th April until Friday 29th April.
|
|
Job Shadow day was on Wednesday 27th April.
|
 |
The Job Shadow scheme encourages employers to take on someone with an intellectual disability for one day work experience.
|
|
During a Job Shadow day a person “shadows” someone working in a job to learn about their working environment.
|
|
A Job Shadow also lets an employer know what it would be like to hire someone with an intellectual disability.
|
 |
Cope Foundation would like to thank employers who got involved as well as the people we support and staff who facilitated the Job Shadows in 2016.
