In September 2014 was signed an extension order designed to promote the integration of persons with disabilities into to the work market by making their appropriate representation in work places mandatory.
Rehabilitation officers at the National Insurance Institute help with the rehabilitation of persons with physical, sensorial or mental disabilities, and train them to integrate the open job market.
The rehabilitation officer accompany the individual with disabilities along the whole rehabilitation process includind diagnosis, vocational training in accordance with the rehabilitee's skills, inclinations and limitations.
At the very beginning of the rehabilitation process, we try to direct rehabilitees to occupations that are in demand in the job market and suitable to their abilities.
We see to it that rehabilitees attend educational institutions that are under the supervision of government agencies or which are recognized as leaders in the selected vocational field.
Some of the people who have been rehabilitated with the help of the NII’s Rehabilitation Department have academic degrees in such fields as engineering, computer science, law, economics, social work and education. Others have professional certification as technician (computers, dental prostheses), graphic artist, designer, applied engineer, accountant, chefs, etc.
The Rehabilitation Department works in collaboration with leading manpower agencies for both placement needs and follow-up at work with the service beneficiary and the employer.
Giving equal opportunities is an important principle for the promotion of the integration of disabled persons in society.
