Pictures of inclusion in practice on the labor market
A new exhibition in St. Pölten shows people with disabilities in the workplace and focuses on examples of successful integration. The pictures will soon also be on display in Melk and Wiener Neustadt.
Active Inclusive is the motto. In the exhibition "Occupational Disability - Labor Market without Barriers", 15 people with Down syndrome present themselves in their everyday working lives. As valuable specialists "whose talents, skills and achievements our companies cannot do without", as Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner emphasized during her visit to the exhibition.
The St. Pölten artist Krassimir Kolev and entrepreneur Nicole Steinacher from Wiener Neustadt have accompanied people with disabilities at work. The result is twelve powerful paintings, which have now been exhibited in St. Pölten for the first time. The figures show just how important such efforts are: According to the AMS, almost 2,500 people with disabilities were registered as unemployed in May.
Project has been providing support for 20 years
MAG Menschen und Arbeit's 0>Handicap project has succeeded in placing more than 100 people in jobs. More than 2.26 million euros were invested by the state this year. "We want to decide and work for ourselves," says Simon Couvreuer, one of the models.
