Betriebliche Realisierung beruflicher Ausbildung behinderter Menschen

In order for us to overcome the much maligned segregation of able-bodied people and people with disabilities in the job market and in vocational training, training that both caters to the needs of people with disabilities and is either on-the-job or hands-on is indispensable. If companies worked with disabled young people early on, they would be able to break down barriers and deconstruct stereotypes more easily. In order to achieve inclusivity in vocational training, separation has to be avoided as much as possible. Using this humanitarian premise as a starting point, this study examines a tiered system between in-company and extra-company training and, at the same time, between training in an officially recognised profession and skilled worker apprenticeships. In doing so, it focuses on the model of integrated training laid down in § 51, par. 2 of the Sozialgesetzbuch IX (Germany’s social code), which is advancing the current debate on the transformation from institutional to individual rehabilitation by placing demands on service providers.
