This toolkit provides a practical guide, with concrete examples, for how Public Employment Services (PES) can promote the participation of persons with disabilities in the labour market. The
toolkit, as one of the deliverables of the Employment Package, is intended to improve the
labour market outcomes of persons with disabilities, contributing to closing the employment
gap between people with and without disabilities. Increasing employment rate of persons with
disabilities will also help to achieve the ambitious target of the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan, to have at last 78% of the population aged 20 to 64 in employment by 20301. The toolkit intends to support PES in their role as key agents for the implementation of the UN Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities (CRPD), and the flagship initiative on  employment within the Strategy for the Rights of persons with disabilities 2021-2030, as well as their own ambition to meet the needs of different client groups2. The objective of the toolkit is to provide PES with information and advice on strategies and practices to support them in combatting labour market discrimination against persons with disabilities and further their effective labour
market participation.
