In 2022, the Department of Finistère launched a major action plan for disability and made it the priority of the mandate.
As part of the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities (SEEPH) organized from November 18 to 24, 2024, the community mobilized.
Theme of the 2024 edition: Disability and professional career, how to ensure true equality of opportunity?
Over the course of a week, the objective is to bring together people with disabilities, businesses and those involved in employment and disability.
The SEEPH is an opportunity to question the various measures put in place to facilitate the professional integration or continued employment of people with disabilities. It is a moment of exchange and sharing where we can learn and raise awareness about the work of people with disabilities.
This week, several awareness-raising actions were organized by the Department.
Raising awareness among college general secretaries
Finistère college managers were invited to better understand working conditions in the presence of a disability through a concrete situation using sensors and simulators of musculoskeletal disorders.
At the end, they were able to discuss disability and its consequences on daily work.
Managing people with disabilities
Community managers have benefited from training to better understand disability, properly integrate a person with a disability into their team or set up a workstation.
They also visited the Finistère adapted company Sevel Services which employs 80% people with disabilities. An opportunity to share good practices to better support employees with disabilities.
DUODAY: duets between people with disabilities and employees
This initiative promotes the discovery of a profession by allowing people with disabilities to share a day alongside a professional.
The Department welcomed 9 people with disabilities into its services, allowing them to discover the many professions offered by the community and the reception conditions put in place.
Conversely, 6 agents from the Department went to the Sevel Services company where they were welcomed by employees with disabilities to discover their working conditions.
In 2023, the Department of Finistère will employ 449 agents with disabilities.
