INCLUSION OF PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME: How to get a job if you are a person with a disability

During the 20 months of the EU project PONOS, which was carried out by the Public Open University Zagreb with the aim of increasing the employability of people with disabilities, almost 50 of them received confirmation of their competence. A dozen of them found employment. Five of them got an offer to stay working at Batak Grill and Torterie Macaron, where they did their internship.

Six mentors worked with them. Through this project, they not only taught others how to work but also educated themselves on how to adapt the workplace to a disabled person who becomes a member of their team.
