description:

Enhancing employability of persons with disability requires supporting the employers in enhancing the accessibility of the workplace, in training supervisors of persons with disabilities on possible risks and hazards for PwDs at the work place and in finding the operations which could be performed by PwDs at certain work place.

context:

The project “The Decent Work in Jordan’s Floriculture Sector project” aimed to increase the employability of persons with disabilities through the technical training in floriculture sector and OSH. The project conducted the analysis of the occupations and developed the training based on occupational standards for men and women, including the PwDs. The training included theoretical part and a practical part – directly in the farms. Farmers were also trained on OSH yet this training didn’t include the sessions on integrating persons with disabilities at work places

success:

If farmers are introduced to the challenges of the persons with disabilities and the ways to adapt to their need, they could feel more confident in adapting the infrastructure of the farms to the various abilities of the PwDs

challenges:

It was learnt from this experience that farms are not accessible to men and women using the wheel chairs as the lanes between the flower beds are too narrow and flowers in most farms are planted to the soil thus it is difficult to bend for persons using wheel chairs. These barriers could be removed if the lanes are widened and paved with solid material to allow persons using wheel chairs to pass through the lanes. If flower beds are constructed at higher length they could be served easily by the persons on wheel chairs and by the persons without disability

administrative_issues:

To the Programme Department – to build on the knowledge gained and design future interventions with allocated budget to support the accessibility of the work place to the persons with disabilities; to develop a training for employers how to adapt the work places and specific types of jobs to the needs of persons with various abilities.
