Abstract

Background

People with disabilities face persistent employment difficulties, mainly because of a lack of recognition of their competencies, especially people with intellectual disabilities. As employment counsellors need to identify the competencies of beneficiaries, a public competencies identification service has been developed and funded by the French Ministry of Labour, Diagoriente.

Method

We compared the impact of a competencies identification session using Diagoriente (N = 48) to a more classic session using a text document (N = 47), with a sample composed mainly of people with intellectual disabilities (75.5%).

Results

Participants who used Diagoriente felt better able to identify and explain their competencies and to create a relevant career plan than those who had followed a classic session.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that Diagoriente, and as we suggest, employment support digital tools, when adapted to the specific needs of people with intellectual disabilities, can provide additional keys to help them build their career plans.

在就业咨询中整合能力识别数字工具，帮助残疾人识别能力并建立相关的职业规划

残障人士面临持续的就业困难，主要是因为他们的能力缺乏认可，尤其是智障人士。由于就业顾问需要确定受益人的能力，因此法国劳工部门设立并资助了一项公共能力鉴定服务。方法我们比较了使用Diagoriente （N = 48）和使用文本文档（N = 47）的更经典的能力识别会话（N = 47）的影响，其中样本主要由智力残疾者组成（75.5%）。结果：使用Diagoriente的参与者比那些使用传统课程的参与者更能识别和解释他们的能力，并制定相关的职业规划。我们的研究结果表明，Diagoriente，以及我们所建议的就业支持数字工具，在适应智障人士的特定需求时，可以提供额外的钥匙，帮助他们建立自己的职业规划。
