"Promotion of labour law for
PwDs" The project consists of promotion of current
labour law for the persons with disabilities in the
manner of providing them with info on possible realization

known to local companies and often that is the main
reason why they don’t take into consideration
Pwds as potential employees and tend to avoid hiring
them. By interpreting the law to both sides, the clear
picture of law provisions will be created and in cooperation
with local government the project should increase
the number of employed PwDs in the future. |
