Jobs for employees with disabilities | DW Documentary

In Germany, sheltered workshops enable disabled people to work. But the jobs are often monotonous and poorly paid. Some are seeking new horizons.
Barbara Jarsinski and Sharaman Sribalan want to quit their jobs at sheltered workshops to find better paid work on the regular labor market. But employers tend to have specific expectations - and Barbara and Sharaman's respective disabilities make certain aspects of the work difficult or impossible.

    I am a disabled woman who lives in the United States, I work at a thrift store, and I really love my job there very much! People with disabilities should work at any job that they want to, and employees should not judge them.

    I recently helped a wheel chair bound disabled gentleman chauffeuring him to his errands in his retrofitted Van for a 6 hour period. To him, the pandemic was the best thing to happen to his life because he now has the opportunity to work from home forever without a commute as an IT Support Agent . Indeed disablity is not inability he was such a subject matter expert in his field from the conversation i had with him. God bless the disabled people. 🙏

    They make them work for less than minimum wage and for free as interns? So the rich owners of the businesses are getting free labour off of disabled people? That's messed up. Pay living wages.

    It is a 4 week internship and it's not unheard of for internships to be unpaid, especially given the circumstances (e.g he knows nothing about cars). Honestly I think doing this would probably end up costing the business owner (not sure why you assume they are rich). It'd be easier for them to just hire someone that they wouldn't have to train so much.

    Here in Canada, I have witnessed myself employees who are supposed to help disabled people get and keep jobs, they help employers instead and abuse the system to make more money for the companies. The subsidies paid by the government were used to save the companies money and not to help and integrate the disabled. Disabled people just want to love, be loved and belong, just like everyone else 😢

    Just say disabled. "Differently abled" is a label created by ableism and offensive. We can definitely be part of society but it's society that rejects us. The care workers are a prime example of this. Trying to get accommodations makes you a target and will get you fired or removed as a candidate for a position.

You wear your ignorance so proudly eh. Some people have high aspirations and it’s not up to you, or anyone else to discourage them. You suck as a person, IMHO.
