Abstract

In this Special Thematic Session, we want to discuss the possibilities of using standard or special certificates for IT-skills to foster the vocational integration of people with disabilities. One part of the STS will present first results of the above mentioned project. The STS should discuss how and why access to such certificates can become a tool for supporting the integration of people of all social orders and what difficulties may occur. Researchers, teachers and experts in the field of IT training and certificates are invited to contribute to this STS.
