Abstract:
This study examines how managers and lead practitioners in Norwegian day activity centres facilitate the participation of individuals with intellectual disabilities in the labour market. Thirteen participants took part in focus groups, and the qualitative data was analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Three main themes emerged: (a) No one else takes responsibility for people who do not fit in, highlighting why centres take on this role; (b) Being solution-oriented and proactive - Taking responsibility for labour market participation, describing how staff actively facilitate transitions to the labour market; and (c) Challenging and complex - Experiences of adapting pathways from day activity centres to the labour market, reflecting the difficulties involved. Findings are discussed in light of case management theory. The study emphasises the crucial role of day activity centres in promoting inclusion and calls for their recognition within Norway's political and organisational frameworks for employment support.
