Intended for those organizations and people registered for our 8-month certification course (much-delayed due to COVID), this workshop will whet our appetites for the promise and possibility of work roles for people with developmental disabilities, and gear us up for the upcoming 8-month practical certification course to come as soon as it is practical and safe. Customized employment, a person-centered, individualized model of supported employment is of special significance as a pathway to work and careers that can lead to richer, fuller lives for adults with significant disability.

In 2018, we took the first steps toward exploring application of supported employment and individualized job development within the framework of Social Role Valorization through our “Real Work, Real Lives, and Real Contribution” workshops in Delhi, Kolkata, and Bengaluru. Fired by the enthusiasm and deep commitment of the participating organizations, we are all set to launch the Certificate Course in Applied Customized Employment as soon as it is safe and feasible to do so. In the meantime, this offering aims to give you a refresher of the workshop in 2018, a peek into what the impending Certificate program has to offer and to share some of our learnings and experiences from the field as we turn theory into practice.
