Employment Rehabilitation
Over a third of a person’s life is devoted to work. Studies show that finding and maintaining stable work is especially important for disabled people, because it helps them integrate into society, furthers their independence, increases their self-worth, and improves their quality of life.
Employment as a rehabilitation process
One of the important foundations of the Hiram rehabilitation is employment.
A wide employment domain was established at Hiram, which begins with building basic work skills and ends with working in conditions that very closely resemble a real work environment.
At Hiram it is understood that to create significant employment rehabilitation the work must be meaningful. We obtain this by creating quality goods with a real need.
