Employment of persons with disabilities (PwDs) is not only a matter of financial independence but also has numerous benefits that can enhance their quality of life and enable them to fully participate in society. Along with providing a sense of purpose, socialization and networking opportunities, skill development, and improved health and well-being. Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, show that the employment rate of PwDs aged 20-64 in the EU was 52.8% in 2020, while the employment rate of persons without disabilities in the same age group was 78.3%. In the R. Macedonia the employment prospects for PwDs have been declining over the years. In 2020, only 1040 people with disabilities were able to secure employment, which indicates a significant reduction in job opportunities. Unfortunately, the pandemic situation and subsequent economic downturn have only worsened the situation. Erasmus UNITY project developed a specialized tool called “Passport for Employment” to facilitate CV creation for individuals with disabilities. The tool features an easy-to-use interface, step-by-step guidance, and a customizable template. The paper provides a comprehensive examination of the tool and the process of piloting on a sample of 100 PwDs across all partner countries involved in the project. The tool is comprised of four distinct segments, with each segment undergoing a separate qualitative analysis using focus groups. Based on the outcomes, necessary modifications were implemented to address the specific needs of each disability category. It is available in four languages, namely Macedonian, Portuguese, Cypriot, and English, to cater to the project partners and an international audience. This tool has the potential to enhance employment opportunities for PwDs and promote inclusive strategies in the workforce. It represents a bridge between PwDs and employers and enables greater visibility of PwDs in the labour market.
