Anotation Author of a diploma work: Karolína Lachoutová, DiS. Leader of a diploma work: prof. PhDr. Tomáš Sirovátka, CSc. Institution: Faculty of social study The name of work: Significance of supported employment for integration of handicapped people in labour market The aim of this work is to answer a question: Which significance does a service of supported employment for integration of handicapped people in labour market have? Durin finding a signification of this service I go out of premise that work has a certain reasen in many ways of peoples life. Moreover, a healthy insurance causes the certain barriers in asserting in labour market. Anyway, the service of supported employment can help to handicapped people during getting and keeping their work very much. The main emphasis is on the method which this service supported employment helps handicapped people to find and keep a quality job. The research, where I used some interviews to people who use this service and employes of agency of supported employment Mesada, has found that the service of supported employment has a positive influence for integration of handicapped people. However, the possibilities of this agency are limited thanks to glut labour market in the south of the Czech Republic, distrust of employers and it is not very suitable for all categories of handicapped people.
