To minimize the social barriers encountered by people with disabilities, the importance that education has in relation to the transformation of the reality of these subjects is highlighted, especially regarding the issues that involve overcoming the numerous situations of disempowerment. Thus, the present study aimed to describe the profile of people with disabilities in the job market, as well as to analyze the educational and professional trajectory of these subjects. Three employees with disabilities participated in the study, namely: a visually impaired participant, a physically impaired participant and a multiple disability participant. For this qualitative research of a descriptive nature, interviews were carried out using a semi-structured script. The results indicated that the insertion and active participation of these people in the labor market constituted a positive factor in the process of developing self-advocacy skills.
