The virtual work space provides the ability to conduct daily functions without the constrains of the physical work environment. It is known that, even if they are employed, disabled persons face much harder situations in the labour market than persons without disabilities. So, disabled people with mobility limitation are the most suitable part of the population which confirms to this new trend from the most aspects - to work from their home ("home based employment").
Knowing these circumstances, project e-Learning Virtual Center for People with Physical Disabilities - e-LIFE has been developed. The concrete aim of this project is "to e-train people with physical disabilities for home based employment by means of e-learning and introduce them to virtual working environment and let them actually work at their home". The philosophy of this project is to improve the skills and competencies of computer and technical oriented disabled people to train the individual to produce better and competitive outputs in project fields which covers almost 40% of technical based services.
We hope that as a result of the project a lot of Europeans with physical disabilities will be able to enter the virtual job markets from homes.
