AYDOS, Valéria. Building the “good worker”: inclusion of people with disabilities in the labour market. Etnográfica [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.2, pp.289-314.  Epub 25-Nov-2021. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.9818.

In this paper, we analyse the processes of inclusion of people with disabilities in the labour market, focusing both on a pedagogical curricular analysis, and on the daily interaction between teachers and apprentices of a training course for people with intellectual and / or psychosocial disabilities. We argue that, thinking of the “ideal worker” models demanded by the labour market, the pedagogical efforts of these courses eventually “shape” these people to a standard considered “more acceptable”. One of the effects of this action is on the blame of the individual for the success or failure of their experience, which leaves in the second place the need of adapting the companies to their specificities. Thus, we highlight the moralities and rationalities - related to the disability, social class and generation - that are implicit in these courses and, call the attention mainly to the need to incorporate a perspective focused on the social model of disability in the inclusion processes as a whole.
