Workers with disabilities building new kind of community in Taicang
An employee typically integrates into the company after a year and-a-half of training. After several years, they master a viable skill. From there, they carry the imprint of their experience at the Inclusion Factory into new chapters of their lives, equipped not just with a trade, but with the confidence to navigate the world.
Sheng Zhigang, who has an intellectual disability, is a proud veteran of the Inclusion Factory, having worked there for more than eight years.
He articulates his assembly tasks for automotive parts with detail and pride, a stark contrast to his previous life repairing bicycles on the street, a job that the 38-year-old inherited from his father, who has a physical disability.
