DuoDay is an event designed to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in the job market. During this day of sharing, disabled people can discover jobs in a private company, an association or a public structure. It's also an opportunity for employers to recruit. The 7ᵉ edition of DuoDay will be held on November 21, 2024, and registrations are already open.
The DuoDay principle
The principle behind DuoDay is simple: a company, local authority or association hosts a disabled person for a day, in a duo with a volunteer professional. On the program: discovery of professions, active participation, immersion in the workplace.
More precisely, this event is an opportunity for companies to change their outlook and overcome prejudices, while at the same time promoting their actions in favor of inclusion and reinforcing their image of solidarity with their employees and partners, including in the management of their business accounts.
Promoting inclusion through employment
The 2024 edition of DuoDay will take place on November 21, during the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities(SEEPH).
This annual event is an opportunity for people with disabilities :
- observe an employee's work and take part in daily tasks,
- discover a new working environment,
- consolidate their career plans,
- create a link with the employer.
For their part, companies can raise awareness of disability among their employees and dispel preconceived ideas.
