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.
