 I.D.E.A. (IHC) VOCATIONAL SERVICESIDEA Vocational Services in Takaka focus on the government document "Pathways to Inclusion".The objectives of vocational services are:1. To increase the participation of people with disabilities in employment2. To increase the participation of people in their communities IDEA supports people to find paid employment with the same rights and conditions as other workers. The ability to participate in the community is also critically important for a sense of inclusion. While for some, this is achieved through work, for others it is through community-based activities, education and training. At the Workcentre our role is to help those in need to meet people, to learn new things of interest and be part of the scene in this happy social environment. It is tidy and a nice old house with a sunny courtyard and friendly people where you feel included and very relaxed. The most satisfying part is that we have a 'home' within the township. The Trust is also home to the IDEA Work Base, who we support with mail, phone, and message systems, and in any other way possible.
