Abstract

People with learning difficulties - in particular those with a moderate/severe disability - frequently fail to achieve acceptable levels of employability through a combination of inadequate or uncoordinated programme provision and poor expectation and promotion of adult status. A joint Dublin/Newcastle-upon-Tyne project addresses the challenge of employability in terms of personal self-esteem building, accessible learning approaches and channels of effective communication.
