University Degree Supported Employment Advisor

The job of Supported Employment Advisor is still relatively new in the landscape of companies and organizations. The terminology, the contours of the function, and the content of its missions have tended to become clearer in recent years, but its precise role and the practices associated with it still refer to diverse realities.

Nevertheless, the professional integration and retention of employees and agents with disabilities are becoming major issues for companies and organizations: social, economic and financial issues, image issues, etc.

The need for people with disabilities and for organizations to recruit a supported employment advisor with specific skills, capable of promoting the training and professional path of people with disabilities, has therefore gradually emerged.

Supported employment advisor is therefore a new profession that is emerging, characterized by a specific purpose and mission: the integration and maintenance of people with disabilities in their training and career paths.

The objective of this DU is to professionalize supported employment advisors in order to gain recognition for their work and provide better support for people with disabilities and for companies and public organizations.
