Training Report : July 25, 2011 : Job Coach Services and Employment of Persons with Disabilities in Malaysia
This afternoon, the nine participants communicated with three lectures through JICA-net, a satellite network. The first lecturer was a JICA specialist in the field of disability.
He first reviewed the concept of “disability” and gave an overview on “job coach” services in Malaysia, where he had worked for a number of years. He introduced a case study of Aslam and Giant Hypermarket, which employs the largest number of persons with disabilities in the country.
His talk was followed by speeches made by two former participants in the JICA decent work course. They illustrated their first-hand experiences of job coach training and services.
The participants were divided into two groups and participated in discussions with their lecturers. Interactions with former participants in the course have encouraged them to initiate actions and also to believe that they could do something equally meaningful when they go back to their countries.
Thanks must go to the three lectures for their time and sharing their experiences.
