EMPLOYMENT OF GRADUATES WITH DISABILITIES
Abstract
The article presents the results of a sociological survey of graduates with disabilities of Moscow universities conducted by the Laboratory of monitoring studies conjointly with the Department of employment of graduates of MSUPE. A number of problems is discussed: motivation for graduates’ with disabilities employment, basic ways and channels for employment, the factors contributing / impeding the employment of graduates with disabilities and problems emerging during job placement and during the work. Most of the problems concerning employment are typical for all graduates searching the job but people with health impairment and disabilities have some special needs therefore employers have some prejudices against taking on such persons. Institutions of higher education should work out special career guidance programs for students and graduates with disabilities.
