"He discovers how the agency matches disabled people's skills with the needs of employers"?

Wow. My Remploy experience was . Asking them for help sustaining employment .

I know HOW to apply for jobs - "Top Tips" means "Teaching Grandma To Suck Eggs" - the problem is persuading employers.

I thought the views made by Remploy were very good even though they had been through troubled times. I liked the point the man raised saying that "mainly people with disabilities can do the work just as much as other people and are more likely to stay in work than other people who arent disabled".

Good scheme too, and this is what the project I work in tries to achieve where we help support students to find work in areas that they wish to work in. The formula helps so I dont agree with what may have said here! We already have students in very successful work placements and I am currently supporting one in a placement at the moment! And the project is "user driven" too!

Chris, the way to persuade employers to employ disabled people is to not go in their company with a burden but for you to go and present them with a challenge and talk to employers and say that you have the skills,you may need help or support in the workplace but you would be able to do the work just as much as anyone else who doesnt have a disability!

It does work, because the work I am in, provides employers with a background to how the students can do the work needed at different companies.

Yes we may have come up against employers who may have said all the usual things but there are different ways of approaching employers to find work.

Or just ask me and I'll give you the evidence that what we do works!

I am sooo lucky, Remploy has been helping me; they have signed me, phoned me, e-mailed me, marched me round Royal Mail sorting office. I have had no interviews, training, useful/ workable suggestions. I have wasted my time, effort and money traveling to see them, e-mailing and phoning them. I would love to work for Remploy.
