Finding the perfect fit - the Cooperation of Service Providers and Companies in the Context of Vocational Rehabilitation in Germany

Abstract

"Specialised educational service providers offer specific programmes for people with disabilities. Despite their importance, little is known about these institutions. Based on 35 expert interviews, we systematically examine them and focus on their cooperation with companies. The results identify long-standing networks between the service providers and mostly small or medium-sized regional companies. Direct communication and their high degree of specialisation are key success factors in placing people with disabilities. Financers for vocational rehabilitation are called upon to further strengthen the service providers’ role as a link between companies and skilled workers."
