Other Support Structures for People with Disabilities in the General Labor Market

In Vienna, nonprofit organizations, companies, interest groups, associations, and educational institutions have access to supplementary grants to prepare people with disabilities for entry into the general labor market. The funding enables project-based structured measures that not only provide direct support for those affected but also involve their personal environment, relatives, multipliers, and potential employers. The goal is sustainable empowerment and immediate integration capability into regular employment relationships. Through the continuous funding mechanism, applications can be submitted at any time, ensuring constant project implementation and adaptation to current needs. Thematically, this support covers the fields of social affairs, counseling, as well as work & social issues including corporate financing, thus forming an important component for promoting inclusive labor markets.

Eligible for funding are providers with proven expertise in counseling and implementing specific supplementary measures for people with disabilities. The project objectives must be clearly aimed at vocational integration into the primary labor market. Interested multipliers and companies accompanying those affected can also be involved and benefit from financial support for the implementation of targeted activities. Prerequisites include successful activity or sound knowledge in the field of disability counseling as well as proof that the planned measures directly target labor market integration. The funding amount is granted as a subsidy; the budget is not time-limited and depends on the project concept. Application documents can be submitted continuously, enabling flexible planning and rapid funding approval.
