“…To obtain and maintain employment, a thoughtful match should be made between the job requirements and the person's skills and preferences. As found by Nota et al (2014), when people with disabilities are presented to potential employers through references to their strengths, instead of their disabilities, employers had more positive attitudes. Hall et al (2014) also found that when people with developmental disabilities had skills that matched the requirements of community-based jobs, they were more productive and had higher job satisfaction.…”

“…Considering employers and colleagues, paying attention to their thoughts and attitudes towards work inclusion could be important (Nota, Santilli, Ginevra & Soresi, 2013). Gilbrid, Stensrud, Vandergoot and Golden (2003) suggested a focus on diversity, work flexibility, workers' needs, personalisation and performance rather than a focus on disability.…”

ScopeRecent developments in the literature on career have begun to reflect a greater global reach and acknowledgement of an international/ global understanding of career. These developments have demanded a more inclusive understanding of career as it is experienced by individuals around the world. Related issues within the career literature include the relationships within the career theory literature, or theory integration and convergence, and between theory and practice. The influence of constructivism is another influence which is receiving sustained attention within the field.The series will be cutting edge in focusing on each of these areas, and will be truly global in its authorship and application. The primary focus of the series is the theory-practice nexus.

The Tyranny of Fit: Yet another Barrier to Mainstream Employment for Disabled People in Sheltered Employment

Policies that encourage the aspirations of disabled people for mainstream employment might be an effective way to increase their workforce participation rate. This study aims to determine which people in sheltered employment aspire to a job beyond their current sheltered employment job. We asked 64 people with sheltered employment jobs about their workplace and job fit, their intentions to stay in their current job and their future job aspirations. The key finding is that perceptions of fit indirectly and adversely affect aspirations via intention to stay. Participants who felt they fitted planned to keep working at their sheltered workplace, but a stronger intention to stay made it less likely that they could identify an alternative to sheltered employment. These results were not influenced by age or the time spent in sheltered employment. Policy should therefore support people in sheltered employment to develop realistic job aspirations. Helping disabled people to identify opportunities beyond sheltered employment can avoid complacency and free up sheltered job opportunities for other disabled people. But policy changes are required to leverage sheltered employment as a first step for disabled people to develop mainstream job aspirations and facilitate transitioning beyond sheltered employment job options.
