The 2001 Department of Health learning disability strategy, Valuing People recognises that employment is one of the key areas where people with learning difficulties can be included as citizens and sets out to increase the number of people with learning difficulties in work. However, previous research has shown that many adults with learning difficulties fail to make the jump from attending vocational courses in further or adult education into employment.This is a resource for adults with learning difficulties who want to work. It contains ideas and examples of how people with learning difficulties can be involved in their own transition to work process and includes case studies of people with learning difficulties who have 'made the jump' and are in employment.
