Dear Sir or Madam,

I have the pleasure of announcing that the ILO International Training Centre is offering a course on “Labour market integration of people with disabilities” (course A900838). The course language will be English and registration is open to policy makers, researchers and representatives of institutions working on disability and social inclusion issues. Participants from Africa, Arab States, Asia, the Pacific, the CIS, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean are welcome to apply.

This course offers participants the possibility to learn more about legislation, mechanisms and effective measures for the labour market integration of people with disabilities, as well as to strengthen their capacity to analyse and design comprehensive policies. It also provides the opportunity to get to know the experience and good practice of different European countries and an excellent forum for knowledge-sharing and networking across countries and continents.

The conditions of participation are the following:

COSTS

The price of the course is US$ 4,490. This amount includes the cost of training and subsistence (full board and lodging at the Turin Centre and during the study tour).

FELLOWSHIPS

The ILO International Training Centre offers a number of partial fellowships to co-finance the costs of the course. If you wish to apply for a fellowship, please contact us as soon as possible. The partial fellowships are for US$ 2,000. The difference is US$ 2,490.

Participants or institutions that do not have enough funds to cover the difference of the cost of the course or the airfare might wish to seek co-funding from donor institutions in their own countries. Some development agencies, development banks and embassies provide co-funding for training.

AIR TRAVEL

Not included is the cost of international air travel from the country of origin to Turin and from Turin to London (study tour), which has to be covered by the participants.

The study tour will take place at the end of the course (21 – 24 October). We recommend that participants book the following ticket routing: home country – Turin – London (4 days’ stopover) – home country.

APPLICATION

In order to register and to apply for a partial fellowship, please send us:

1. A completed nomination form (attached);
2.  A “letter of commitment” by the participant’s organization (or a donor organization) stating that it will cover:
