Abstrakt		Policy makers are becoming aware of the need to improve opportunities for employing people with disabilities and sustain their employability. On the way to job placement there is a range of barriers: individual's ability as outcome of treatment and rehabilitation, his/her biological and social characteristics, obstacles in physical environment, the attitudes of employers or limitations imposed by the society itself. There is no universal model, but the bio-psycho-social model could recognise such a diversity of problems. Return to work /school and being employed is becoming an important indicator of successful outcome of treatment and rehabilitation. Since the population of persons after traumatic brain injury is principally young with many years of potential future earning capacity understanding the issue affecting the vocational outlook for this group is important. Post injury employment range from 10% to 70%. Findings of numerous current studies vary much in resulting predictors of return to work but among them should be stressed: the patient's age, education level and occupation, alcohol consuming prior to injury, early rehabilitation, the level of cognitive and emotional changes, level of social support. The definition of fitness for work is given, the framework for its assessment on the level of patient's abilities and requirements of work place, aims of matching those properties are given. Though the common model for return to work is of interest, the individual plan for return is of most importance. For this plan the following issues should be taken in to account: disablement (expressed as reduction in activities and participation) on the physical, sensory, psychological and mental level, the endurance and driving capability are stressed, overall health condition, issues about education, work, family and social situation should not be neglected.
