Nowadays, to have a job is the best way to get a successful personal development. However, we find that people with disabilities have difficulties in accessing the labour market, even when they have successfully completed their university studies. This paper describes and analyzes the situation of people with disabilities who have graduated from the ULPGC between 2000 and 2010. The career trajectories of 96 graduates have been reviewed by matching the records from the ULPGC and those of The Canary Islands Observatory of Employment (OBECAN). Four indicators have been used: job placement, registered unemployment, temporary employment, and occupation. The results show that one in two people achieves a job according to their training in the third year after graduation, which suggests certain positive effects of university studies on job placement
