8 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1social enterprise or sheltered workshop Explanation: Entry in Wikipedia: Organisation(s) that provide employment opportunities for people with disabilities and/or those from disadvantaged backgrounds, such as ethnic minority groups, the long term unemployed, and those returning to the workforce. The term 'sheltered' refers to a protective environment where disadvantaged people can undertake paid meaningful employment in a supportive environment. The term 'sheltered workshop' is considered outdated in favour of 'social enterprise', especially in the US and UK. This type of employment is in contrast to 'open employment' where people with disabilities, and (from)disadvantaged groups, enter mainstream or 'open' employment. (source: Dr Stephen Treloar, doctoral thesis, Southern Cross University, Queensland Australia, 2003). Reference: http://www.wikipedia.org |

Sheltered Employment Centre / Sheltered Workshops Explanation: Sounds like a sheltered workshop scheme to me, although so far I don't have any links that show a direct translation to this effect. Will carry on looking, but in the meantime you might want to research this idea. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2007-03-15 21:39:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops - sorry, there were NO answers when I was answering! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2007-03-15 21:43:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here are a few links on 'sheltered employment' that might help you decide: http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/health/socialservices/homeca... http://www.jewishshelteredemployment.org.za/ http://www.hants.gov.uk/scrmxn/c4412.html |
