The Study presents a review of the current state of practice concerning a broad range of alternative employment models for persons with disabilities, i.e., organisational models that enable persons with disabilities to participate in productive work by using sheltered employment settings.

It also includes an in-depth analysis of 8 EU Member States: Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden, as well as 20 good practices and 16 recommendations to promote quality employment of persons with disabilities.

The Study will be launched on 21 May at 11 am in an online event organised by the Inclusive Labour Market Alliance (ILMA). 

The webinar will feature a presentation of the study’s main findings by the European Commission and the study authors, followed by an interactive discussion with participants.
