European Agency for Development in Special Needs Education such as UNESCO, and the European Commission all recognize that basic education should be for all and should lead to employment for all. It should promote vocational knowledge that can be converted into opportunities not only for the individual but also for people with disabilities and society as a whole. Therefore, in light of the fact that the vast majority of the labour force require technical, agriculture and vocational knowledge, skills for life should be included as part of basic education curricula (UNESCO, 2004a). The option of ‘vocationalising' or including a knowledge base relating to vocational education and training in primary and secondary curricula has also been suggested (UNESCO, 2002). In Lebanon, According to the World Health Organization, 7% of the population in Lebanon suffer from disability, nearly 20% of them are located in Northern Lebanon, and people with severe mental illness have the highest rate of unemployment (approximately 95%). However, the effective implementation of vocational rehabilitation supported by the IEP (Individualized Education Program), can mean an increase in competitive employment and skill enhancement, with greater job retention and longer hours worked. The programs implemented by Rahma for Special Needs (RSN) consisted of identifying young learners with special educational needs who were willing to work in the competitive labour market and helping them to develop pragmatic goals and search for appropriate employment directly, through a long training phase.
