Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Employment and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Alan Porter:
I actually did two. I did the employment skills training and the employer-based training also. We are so similar as nations in that we may look alike and speak the same language but when I first got here, culturally I found it was something of a challenge and for many years I struggled to fit in. My time with NLN helped me to assimilate better, granted me the ability to function more in society, and in a better way than I did before. It has worked out great with my current employer as it keeps asking me to come back. I do not know why but I must be doing something right.
