Outline of Final Research Achievements

To enhance the retention of users of labor transition support offices in the workplace, we conducted a quantitative and qualitative survey on the process of sharing users' support issues. This survey targeted service managers of labor transition support offices and related organizations such as educational institutions, welfare agencies, and companies associated with labor transition support offices. As a result, the following issues were identified as critical for improving users' retention in the workplace: (1) feedback on users' situations among related parties, (2) regular visits from consultation support offices to labor transition support offices and from labor transition support offices to companies, (3) understanding of concepts such as 'working' and 'support' among related parties, (4) assessment of users, and (5) individualized support based on expertise and sharing of issues through collaboration.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

障害がある人の働くことの支援は、本人や本人の家族や福祉事業所、教育機関、労働機関、企業等、様々な人・機関が関わる。それぞれの人・機関により、「働くこと」や「支援を行う」ことについて、考え方や視点を持つものと思われる。本研究は、これらの人・機関で就労移行支援事業所の利用者の支援課題をいかに共有していくのかということを通して、様々な分野が関わる障害がある人の働くことの支援について、支援を展開する上での指針を提示することができた。
