Forum Integration 2022: Successful professional integration for people with disabilities

Even in prehistoric times, those who had a tool at hand, such as a stone hammer, were at an advantage. Materials could be shaped and work results achieved more quickly.

Tools for professional integration

Today, there is hardly any activity for which there are no corresponding tools, aids or programs. However, the fact remains that the tool is only as valuable as the hand that guides it. So what happens when the person at the tool is no longer able to guide the tool? If, due to illness, accident or birth defect, the possibilities are not sufficient to cope with the complexity of the working world?

Answers to these questions will be provided by the Integration Forum on Monday, March 7, 2022 (4 to 6 p.m.) in the Pfalzkeller St.Gallen. On the one hand, the participants will be presented with "Compasso" and "REP", two tools that provide valuable information and support so that employees can be employed in a meaningful way in the company despite temporary or permanent restrictions. On the other hand, two concrete case studies will be presented at the event to show how integration has been successful for employers and employees and which tools have been used for this purpose.

Forum Integration with Integration Award 2022

The 2022 Integration Award will also be presented at the event. It will be interesting to see which company the jury will honor for its efforts to integrate young people with disabilities into the primary labor market.

After the official part, all participants are invited to an aperitif and have the opportunity to exchange ideas. The event is organized and supported by procap, Suva, obvita, Bühler AG, Migros Kulturprozent, and gewerbe st.gallen, among others. The event will be moderated by Matthias Flückiger. The event will be held in accordance with the current Corona guidelines.
