Person-centred training
Inclusive training is possible if there is no fundamental division into groups. This is because any division into groups is defined by group characteristics and thus carries the risk of exclusion. The problem is that conventional vocational qualification profiles are based on group divisions. The result is that many people with support needs are excluded from vocational training. Making vocational training inclusive is therefore a particular challenge.
The idea of inclusion in vocational training can only be realised through an individual, person-centred approach. The starting point of the Inclutrain method is therefore not a specific occupation, but the individual person with all their abilities and limitations. The aim is to recognise a person’s qualities and nurture them in such a way that they can contribute positively to the world. The central starting point for this is the individual’s impulse to act. The profession this ultimately leads to is a journey of discovery. New, individual job profiles can also be developed.
From diversity to inclusion
Based on the idea of diversity, quotas can be set: for example, a company of a certain size must employ people with support needs. However, this does not automatically mean that these individuals are integrated into the company. This only happens if they are seen for their individual qualities and can contribute something of their own to the whole. Only then can we speak of inclusion. The pursuit of inclusion therefore goes a step further than the pursuit of diversity.
The aim is to recognise not only people with support needs, but all employees of a company for their qualities and thus their individuality.
