Vocational and Employment Panel Discussion

June 15, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Spinal Injuries Ireland will host a Panel discussion, which will take place online on Wednesday 15th June.

Fiona Ryan from the National Rehabilitation Hospital will be speaking about the Vocational Programme, which is an inter-agency programme between the vocational OT in the NRH and Spinal Injuries Ireland Association.  The aim of the programme is to bridge the gap between hospital and community. When the person is discharged from the hospital the Community Outreach Officer in their region follows up to assist and support the person in instigating their vocational plans post discharge.  The Community Outreach Officer and Vocational OT regularly meet to monitor each person’s progress and provide additional vocational support as necessary.

Rachael Mulligan from the Irish Wheelchair Association will be speaking about the Abilities Programme, which is a job seeking skills and employability programme whereby participants receive holistic, person-centred coaching from their two dedicated job coaches allowing them to enhance their skillsets, become independent job seekers, and ultimately finding a meaningful role. This service is open to anyone over the age of 18 with a physical disability (not solely wheelchair users) who is looking to enhance their employability and find a fulfilling career.

Helen Forster from the Local Employment Services will be speaking about the services they provide, and in doing so, supporting a client-centered employment service to job seekers and those distanced from the workforce, offering a wide range of employment supports and working with the employers to enhance employment opportunities.

Looking forward to seeing you then!
