Efforts pay off to make workplaces inclusive
CHANGSHA — Having worked closely with a job coach for more than two years, 21-year-old Junjun (not his real name) in the city of Zhuzhou, Central China's Hunan province, has eased into the position of assistant teacher at a rehab center for local children.
His work includes packing and organizing teaching aids, looking after children during classes, and using courseware to assist music teachers. However, even such simple tasks can be challenging for Junjun, as he was born with Down syndrome.
Despite the challenges, this young man has developed a regular workday routine, catching a bus to the center at around 8 am and spending a busy day there.
