Abstract

Vocational civics training is important for preparing a good life for persons with intellectual disabilities. This is based on the reality that the main problem of persons with intellectual disabilities is they are unable to think abstractly and difficult thing, so that they face obstacles and difficulties to participate fully and effectively in their citizenship. But for some people with intellectual disabilities, they are able to be educated for semi-skilled work with supervision. Their potential for work can be a basis to strengthen their life skills, so that they have social recognition and able to be economically independent. This study employs a qualitative approach to institutions that use employment services for people with intellectual disabilities. The result show that vocational civics training can empower the social and economic capabilities of persons with intellectual disabilities. The training model developed is a partnership between the business world and educational institutions with policy facilitation provided through legislation.
