Instruments supporting vocational activation of people with disabilities

The article presents the instruments supporting activation of persons with disabilities in the labour market in Poland. They may have a different impact. It depends on the status of people with disabilities in the labour market and the "attractiveness" of the instrument, both for the people with disabilities, as well as their employers. Among the instruments for the general population, the refund of costs resulting from hiring employees helping employees with disabilities is of marginal range. Also not to many job opportunities for people with disabilities are offered, especially in the public sector. Collective forms of employment are of limited importance in the context of vocational guidance and career information.
