Facts

It is a sad fact that only 6% of people with a registered learning challenge are in any form of regular, paid employment.

​

Having a job and working for a wage can completely transform the lives of people with learning challenges, not only by providing them with a regular income, but also in helping them to:

• Build self confidence

• Self-esteem

• Develop ways to gain independence

• Employment also provides a valuable route to developing social interaction and forming lasting friendships
