Project Summary

Our project addresses the obstacles that hearing impaired people face in their vocational training. The results of our project for the hearing impaired, who have fewer opportunities compared to their peers, will encourage social inclusion. It will contribute to the creation and/or expansion of inclusive environments in vocational education. The project addresses the teaching and learning processes of the hearing impaired through the development and implementation of new and more relevant teaching and learning approaches. The project will create practical results for training people who are more suitable for the future needs of the accounting-finance industry. Within the scope of our project, flexible and learner-centered teaching programs and materials for the hearing impaired will be developed. The results of our project will be made available to anyone who wishes, online and in open access, in a structure that does not require a membership system. Thus, it will contribute to the transition of hearing impaired people to the labor market and to closing the existing gaps in adults’ access to education.
