Project Make it Happen 2 n. 2022-1-FR01-KA220-VET-000089986

The main goal of the project is to promote and develop inclusive mobilities for VET disabled learners. Indeed, the access to employment and training offered for disabled citizens remains below the average rate. This project will address the identified issues (lack of information, lack of human resources, prejudices and lack of funds for special needs) and come up with innovative solutions. The main goals of this project are therefore to promote mobility opportunities among VET sheltered and mainstream environments, to empower mobility referents on mentoring disabled learners with special needs and to empower social workers/trainers and educational staff in charge of disabled learners training.
