# Employment Barrier Charities CheckIn Works is a Scottish Organization Galvanizing Opportunity By Social Business Editor | Published 2014-08-19 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checkin-works References: [checkin-giraffe.uk](http://checkin-giraffe.uk/about-checkin/) The tagline for the charity organization Checkin Works is simple, to the point and excruciatingly necessary: "Employment, it's for everyone!" While having and keeping your job may seem like a necessary condition to living (and, in most cases, it is), many people have difficulties in the employment industry for various reasons. More specifically, Checkin focuses on "innovative new approaches to overcome enduring barriers in the workplace for people with learning disabilities, autism and mental ill health," as they write in their About Us page. Checkin also has amazing-looking [volunteer opportunities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-nonprofit-organization) using a Buddy Scheme to assist with job training but also with life skills like confidence and encouragement. Buddies must be 18 years or older and enrol in a tailored training programme. **Contact Information** CheckIn Works [website](http://checkin-giraffe.uk/about-checkin/) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Inclusive Employment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technology platforms that connect individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and mental ill health to job opportunities and provide necessary support for success in the workplace. - **Volunteer Integration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create digital platforms that match volunteers with organizations like Checkin Works to provide tailored training and support programs for individuals with barriers to employment. - **Life Skills Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design virtual or augmented reality training programs that focus on building confidence and encouragement for individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and mental ill health. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Nonprofit:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply technology solutions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of nonprofit organizations dedicated to supporting individuals with barriers to employment. - **Job Placement:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence systems that match individuals with barriers to employment to suitable job opportunities based on their skills and needs. - **Training and Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create online platforms or mobile applications that provide interactive and personalized training programs for individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and mental ill health to enhance their employability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Employment-Focused Charity Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-tech-training.md) - [Groundbreaking Workplace Inclusion Frameworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workplace-inclusion.md) - [Empowering Nonprofit Organizations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disability-community.md) - [AI-Enhanced Employment Accessibility](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enabled-talent.md) - [Digital Accessibility Job Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessibility-cafe.md) - [Incarcerated Employment Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next-chapter.md) - [Inclusive Social Support Programmes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcr-social.md) - [Tech-Empowered Accessibility Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remarkables.md) - [Accessible Tourism Training Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disability-inclusion1.md)
