Estudo de caso no centro de profissionalização inclusiva para a pessoa com deficiência

Abstract

The process of inclusion of the disabled in the labor market is a matter discussed by the powers and society, mainly because of its human and social character. This research investigated how the process of inclusion of disabled people in the State of Ceará, mediated by the Center for Inclusive Professionalisation for People with Disabilities (CEPID), is a reference in the professional training, intermediation and insertion of people with disabilities in the labor market. The present work is characterized as a case study, with qualitative, exploratory and descriptive methodology. It was observed the importance of the existence of institutions to meet the social needs of people with disabilities, in relation to the referral to the labor market. The main results indicate that CEPID is a pioneering innovation in the inclusion of disabled people in the State of Ceará and reveals that one of the greatest difficulties encountered is the lack of financial resources and personnel, which impairs the protection of people with disabilities. Among the proposals for improvements, we highlight the need for greater dissemination of CEPID and its activities, together with companies from Ceará and people with disabilities. It is important to emphasize that investment in inclusion is capable of strengthening one's own company, working on personal and professional values, and reinforcing collective ideals, understanding that all are different, but that the added differences are capable of building a promising working environment.
