Ripples in the Water: Opening the Labor Market to Persons with a Disability
A new method introduced by NHO, the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise, aims to create job opportunities for persons with disabilities by matching them with employers' needs. With approximately 100 member companies in Norway, the branch organization Work and Inclusion (WI) provides vocational rehabilitation services to thousands of individuals annually. The focus on employers' needs enhances job stability for candidates, as indicated by the FAFO report. The methodological model "Ripples in the Water" facilitates the assessment, work practice, and employment process, resulting in about 2200 disabled persons being employed yearly by nearly 2000 companies under recruitment agreements since 2012.
