While in some countries deaf and hearing impaired people make a successful career and participate in social life, in other countries, especially in South Eastern Europe, there are hardly any opportunities for social and professional integration. Employment opportunities here are often limited to low-skilled vacancies (or sometimes even no-show jobs) and therefore financially and content-wise unattractive.

Due to this fact and based on the various experiences and backgrounds of the partnership in the field of inclusion and employment of people with disabilities, in particular, INTAMT Academy in cooperation with its partners (six organizations from five countries) started the 𝗔𝗖𝗣𝗗 (𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗳) project, working on the clarification of the learning opportunities and employability for people with hearing disabilities in caretaking and nursing professions.
