Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to show NGOs as potential workplaces, both as paid or unpaid places of employment. The research was carried out through the use of telephone interviews, contacting NGOs that were chosen randomly from provinces with the highest unemployment rates in the Republic of Poland. The results clearly show that more than 70% of the selected groups of NGOs need additional staff for everyday tasks. From these data, it can be safely assumed that NGOs, in part at least, can have a positive influence on today's labour market difficulties. These organisations could offer the possibility of gaining some early work experience, especially for young people.
