The publication of the Making the jump resource packs is timely given current high profile of the 2001 Department of Health learning disability strategy, Valuing People. The strategy recognises that employment is one of the key areas where people with learning difficulties can be included as citizens and sets out to increase the number of people with learning difficulties in work. However, previous research has shown that many adults with learning difficulties fail to make the jump from attending vocational courses in further or adult education into employment.
How can we support adults with learning difficulties make the jump?
This set of resource materials comes in two parts:
Making the jump - transition to work is a staff resource pack containing guidelines and examples of good practice where adults with learning difficulties are effectively supported in their transition from education to employment. It includes sections on how to plan a relevant course; funding a course; working with staff from other organisations; and contains an overview of relevant current government policy affecting employment and people with learning difficulties.
Making the jump - we can do a good job is a resource for adults with learning difficulties who want to work. It contains ideas and examples of how people with learning difficulties can be involved in their own transition to work process and includes case studies of people with learning difficulties who have 'made the jump' and are in employment. This pack is produced in large print, written in clear accessible language with illustrations and is available on audio CD.
