STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND THE LABOR MARKET IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA - SITUATION AND NEEDS ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: In the last decade, the primary focus of European Union policies has been on relating higher education to broader trends of present-day socio-economic changes as well as on the relationship between labor market and high education on regional, national and local levels. The regional Erasmus+ project „School-to-Work Transition for Higher Education Students with Disabilities in Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro“ is an important step toward the improvement of education-to-work transition processes for students with disabilities. The aim of Trans2Work project is to relate higher education to the labor market through strengthening capacities of higher education institutions to support students with disabilities in the transition process to the labor market, and improving the employer’s understanding of persons with disabilities in order to design working positions for them. In this paper we are going to a) present the project, b) present the legal framework in Bosnia and Hercegovina in that area, c) present needs analysis of students with disabilities in transition processes. The research results suggest that there are drawbacks in the legal framework and that students communicate the need for a better connection of higher education institutions with the labor market in order for them to be recognized as competent professionals in their fields of work.
