Ochotnicze Hufce Pracy (Voluntary Labour Corps) as a public finance sector entity of particular importance for supporting vocational activity and employment among young people, as well as for preventing social exclusion.

Abstract

Combating social exclusion through educational activities constitutes one of the most significant challenges facing the contemporary education system. Voluntary Labour Corps (VLC) operating in the form of a budgetary unit, constitute an entity within the public finance sector responsible for carrying out state tasks in the fields of education, upbringing, and youth employment. This entity also undertakes significant measures aimed at counteracting marginalisation and social exclusion. In view of the above, the study advances the thesis that VLC play a particularly important role in supporting vocational activity and employment among young people. The scope of the research encompasses the tasks, organisational structure, and principles governing the financial management of VLC, taking into account their significance both for the education system and for the public finance sector. The considerations presented herein are based on the dogmatic-legal research method supplemented by the analytical-formal method. In this respect, the analysis covers Polish legislation and financial data. Furthermore, reference is made to the achievements of legal doctrine and judicial decisions.
