The Employment of Clients of the Halfway House
BOČANOVÁ, Marcela
This Bachelor thesis is called The Employment of Clients of the Halfway House. The theoretical part consists of three areas which describe the services of the Halfway House, the characteristics of its clients and also the possibilities of searching work. The practical part is focused on the research itself, used methodology, obtained results and discussion. The Halfway House is oriented on young people till they are 26 years old and who leave state school facilities for institutional protective upbringing once they reach a legal age. The other groups which this service is oriented on are people who are released from their sentence or from protective treatment. Last but not least, these houses are also intended for young people who suddenly find themselves in an unfavorable life situation which they are not capable to deal with on their own. The Halfway House provides accommodation at a reduced price, advisory and they also try to make the transition of their clients from institutional environment a little bit easier. During this transition, the people have to face many problems and searching for work is only one of them. Thanks to the institutional upbringing, they lack work habits, tend to be more psychically unstable and they usually have more issues with getting into new relationships. Current situation on labour market when the labour supply highly exceeds labour demand and the job offer is quite limited obviously does not benefit to the situation of these people. The aim of this thesis was to map the situation of the clients of the Halfway House and also to answer the research question what problems on the labour market these young people usually face. I chose a qualitative research to gather required data. As a methodology, I used interviewing with a usage of half-structured technique and a method of document analysis with the help of content analysis data technique. The research was performed with twelve people, four respondents were social workers from the Halfway House and other eight people were clients of these providers from whom three were unemployed. Three respondents came to these facilities from upbringing institution and the rest were from children?s home. Two respondents had only basic education, five respondents reached secondary education with certificate of apprenticeship and one respondent had a secondary education with leaving exam. The output of this research is a finding that situation of clients of the Halfway House is unfavorable at current conditions. To find a job, they use internet, job offers in magazines, personal contact with companies, acquaintances and job agencies. During the time they are unemployed, they are obliged to be registered at the Employment Office of the Czech Republic. The social worker stated that other problems the clients encounter on labour market, besides lack of work habits, unstable psyche, low communication skills, were incorporation into work society, solving of conflict situation with co-workers and high salary expectations. Clients themselves stated that the problems on labour market for them were high education expectations from the employers, complications with curriculum vitae compilation and writing of motivation letter. Two respondents also saw the problem in their ethnic membership and as a reason for their unemployment stated discrimination of a society. None of the respondents stated that was discriminated due to their institutional past. In my opinion, it is important to show the facilities like the Halfway House and social issues of young people who try to integrate themselves to a normal life after leaving institutional facilities because it is important to raise public awareness regarding this topic. This thesis can serve as a study material for students of social-law branches and also as a feedback for social worker of the Halfway House.
