With an employment rate of 19% and a labor force participation rate of 20.7% in 2021, the employment situation has shown little improvement, and the regular salary is only 70% of the entire population. This certainly has caused economic hardship for people with physical and mental disabilities. Hence, Eden has provided mental and physical disabilities services for more than 40 years, helping more than 60,000 people and families with mental and physical disabilities each year.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan found that people with physical and mental disabilities are still facing difficulties in employment for the past five years. With an employment rate of 19% and a labor force participation rate of 20.7% in 2021, the employment situation has shown little improvement, and the regular salary is only 70% of the entire population. This certainly has caused economic hardship for people with physical and mental disabilities.
Eden provides career counseling assessments, sheltered employment services, job redesign, pre-employment training, job referrals, post-employment follow-up, and supported employment services. Through professional assessment, skills are developed according to the strengths of the individual with physical and mental disabilities, and transition to the workplace. During the transition process, the employment servicers help improve the workflow or use assistive devices to complete their work.
The employment service program for the physically and mentally disabled not only provides a channel for employment training to help people with physical and mental disabilities enter the general workplace but also accompanies them to find the value of work. A friendly employer, an accommodating workplace environment, and the encouragement of those around you are always the strongest support for people with disabilities in the workplace.
