CAREER GUIDANCE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY

Abstract

People with disabilities in any society are at risk of social exclusion and discrimination. Nowadays, in recent decades, the treatment of people with disabilities has shifted towards giving people with special needs the opportunity to manage their own lives. The emphasis is on building a society that incorporates and is capable of meeting the needs of all people, including people with disabilities. Career development is a continuous process in which an individual uses information about himself, collects it and uses it to master the vast of professions and apply it to himself. This report discusses people with disabilities and their opportunities to integrate into the Latvian labor market.
