Abstract
The ability to work is one of the main criteria of success of each person and according to that job training should be one of the main objectives of the educational system for all people. The achievement of a job role even for people with severe intellectual disability is crucial, all the more that these persons after completion of the program of job training are rarely employed. A proposal of a potential model of training for people with severe intellectual disabilities performing work duties in food bank as a part of the program of job training is given in this paper. The food banks as a way of a community based service in the future could become a segment of the community based rehabilitation. This paper also gives a short overview of the possibilities as well as restrictions of a realization of the potential proposal in Republic of Croatia. The model itself is based on the principles of supported employment thanks to which we provide persons with intellectual disability participation in a paid work at regular working environment.
