The sample: 30 blind persons having the first level of disability, higher education and successfully integrated into the labour market were surveyed in Lithuania. A qualitative research method was employed to collect empirical data; partially standardised interviews were carried out; the results of the research were validated by the specialists' assessment. In addition, theoretical and juridical references and the impact of social organizations for the blind on the integration of the blind into the labour market were analysed. Content analysis (the data were categorised according to the semantic correlations) was conducted to analyse the data. The hypothesis, that the needs of intermediation in the employment of the blind are insufficiently taken into consideration, was confirmed. The blind meet the need for intermediation at the initial stage of employment: choosing the profession and seeking professional education. The data of the research reveals that the need for intermediation grows conducting a job search. It is important in further career development: during the professional adaptation period or in-service training. However, the satisfaction of this need is in most cases left for the personal initiative of relations, friends and educators.
