In this report, the authors describe the practices of vocational education utilizing regional resources at our school, re-established in 2017 as the first co-location school in Hiroshima Prefecture, that corresponds to both education for orthopedically impaired students and education for mentally retarded students. This approach is organized as an “employment assistance project” led by the career guidance department at its central core. In this project, the authors hold an“ employment assistance conference” and a“ company visit day” in order to further promote networking with regional resources and to enhance productive employment support. Based on advice from the conference participants in the first year, the authors developed three further approaches. The authors hereby describe the specific practices as such: “guidance to the lower division students associating with skill test” that focuses on how to generalize and proactively apply in daily life, the skills absorbed through the Hiroshima Prefectural Special Needs Education School Skill Test;“ group training” that aims towards overcoming challenges found in the training through the process of organizing, understanding, improving and practicing again onsite, and “group interview” that encourages deeper awareness of oneself through interview exchanges with employment assistance conference members.
