Jobs Deaf People can do

When we compared the jobs that deaf people thought they could do and the jobs which they thought hearing people could do we find some significant differences - often deaf people thought they could not do something which they already do.

There are many other areas of activity which are important to deaf people in the field of employment but we find the same story occurring again and again - deaf people are under-employed in relation to what they might be able to do.  Communication, lack of education and lack of qualifications are at the heart of the lack of confidence which deaf people have.
