Today's first visit was Oita Vocational Center for Persons with Disabilities. The center offers a series of support from consultation on employment to follow-up after being employed in close linkage with the public employment security office and various organizations in the fields of welfare, medicine and education to persons with disabilities and their employers.
JICA participants had already visited Chiba Vocational Center with Mr. Nonaka on May 24. The participants were surprised to observe the quality of services provided in Oita was just as the same as and as good as in Chiba.
In the afternoon they visited "Oita Plaza", Employment and Living Support Center for Persons with Disabilities.
Participants were very impressed to see ten national flags on the wall.
Oita Plaza provides not only information related to employment for persons with disabilities but also place to work at its attached workshop.
Participants were divided into three groups and exchanged the opinions with users of the workshop.
