Efficiency of vocational retraining for long term unemployed job-seekers
BEČVÁŘOVÁ, Klára
Unemployment is a long term problem of the present society. For many people, finding a new job is complicated because of some kind of handicap. Such handicaps include age, gender, lack of qualification, or even belonging to certain minority group. In these cases, people remain unemployed for a longer time, which leads to further devaluation of the human capital. Employment offices try to help their job-seekers using active employment policy instruments. This paper is then focused on the vocational retraining instrument in relation to long term unemployed. The objective of the paper is to establish efficiency of vocational retraining and the factors that influence it. The technique of secondary analysis of public documents of the Employment Office in Písek for the period 2005 through 2010 was chosen for the performance of the research. The research has shown that short-term unemployed having secondary education with school-leaving examination (SSLC) and younger age groups (up to 30 years of age) are more often placed in vocational retraining. On the contrary, members of the group of job-seekers with low ? primary education and/or aged over 50 is very rarely placed in vocational retraining. Yet lack of qualification and higher age are risk factors for long term unemployment origination. If these two factors are joined also with very long unemployment (over 1 year), there is a minimum chance to participate in vocational retraining. The positive effects of vocational retraining for long term unemployed include that they have large chance of placement in the labour market within 6 months. Selection for vocational retraining is performed on the basis of cooperation of the labour provision consultant with the job-seeker. Unfortunately, there is noticeable tendency to select rather the less problematic and better motivated job-seekers. Consequently, the approach to clients should change and those who really need help should be targeted.

The assessment of the benefits of activation services of educational programmes for people entering the labour market
HOUDKOVÁ, Pavlína
This paper deals with the aspects of working with the unemployed, their views and impacts of services that are offered to jobseekers. The theoretical part deals with the explanations and definitions of the basic concepts of unemployment and employment policy. It deals with health and social consequences of unemployment and the situation of the unemployed. The objective was to determine whether the activation of clients through additional services is beneficial and causes positive changes in the views of the unemployed. Furthermore, to map what other additional activation services are important to jobseekers and which of these services are made available to them through employment offices. To achieve the objectives I used the combination of a quantitative and qualitative research, called the mixed-type research. In the research part, I worked with a total of three groups of respondents. It was a group of jobseekers in the questioning to map services for the unemployed. I used a research group and a control group to find out about the benefits of additional activating services. The research group consisted of participants in training courses with additional activation services. The control group consisted of jobseekers who had participated in retraining courses without activation services. The questioning took place at the beginning of the course and at its end. The responses to the questions were compared within each group and also between them. Through testing defined null hypotheses and by comparing the values I found that the motivation of the trainees with additional activation services to seek a job is greater than in the control group. Additional activation services are therefore beneficial. The questioning to map services for the unemployed showed a lack of supply offered by employment offices to the unemployed. Jobseekers declared an interest in these services. Based on the factors identified, it would be beneficial in the future to extend the standard training courses by adding motivational and self-development activities. Employment offices should promote their services with an emphasis on individual groups of jobseekers. To offer, on a regular basis, activities aimed at the acquisition of practical skills necessary for successful job search.

Personnel Strategy in a particular company Specializec in employment of people at free labour market including disabled, teenage a 50+ Groups of potential employees.
STRNADOVÁ, Petra
There are changes on the labour market in these current dynamic times. In the context of the changing conditions of the labour market the unemployment rate rises which contributes to the occurrence of the current class of declassed people, without qualification and work skills who live outside of the market and are permanently depended on the unemployment benefits system. Of course, unemployment operates selectively, affecting especially so called risk groups of people including also adolescents, handicapped people and the age group 50 years plus. The problem with employing handicapped persons continues despite the measures being received for the support of their employment. Even though the current social security system takes part in the provision of their basic material needs, the social integration of the handicapped persons group depends in large part on wider social, economic and legislative conditions. The employers request from their employees a maximal output which is impossible in the handicapped persons group due to the physical activities decline and related health problems. They take into account also age, with which they connect a number of other factors that might interrupt the output of a person at the workplace. Whether it is the health conditions, physical activities decline, insufficient requalification, and low self-consciousness, worst adaptability on change and many others considerably influencing the causes of unemployment related to these persons. On the other hand, they do not take into account a number of advantages brought by this group. Without a doubt, this includes life experiences, higher social intelligence, a broader perspective when solving conflict situation, faithfulness and loyalty from the part of the employees. Labour market active programmes can help so that the unemployed persons remain on the labour market and find a job. This help can come in the form of requalification, facilitating of the process of job searching, supporting the employment rise in a broader sense.
