Employment and disability: a week to prepare for meetings

· BehindLines newsroom

SEEPH, the European week devoted to the employment of people with disabilities, will take place from 16 to 22 November 2026. It will bring together candidates, employers and organisations that support people along their employment journeys. This thirtieth edition is jointly organised by LADAPT, Agefiph and FIPHFP. Their programme includes discussions about career paths and meetings focused on recruitment.

For participants, the week covers several formats. An interview with a company, an information session and an introduction to an occupation serve different needs. Identifying the kind of appointment helps people prepare more specific questions, whether about a position, a career path or the everyday reality of a job.

Meetings already announced in Corsica

France Travail describes several local events. Meetings with recruiters are planned for 16 November in both Ajaccio and Bastia, starting at 13:30. In Ajaccio, the announced venue is the Palais des Congrès. A conference on perceptions of disability in the workplace is also scheduled in Propriano on 17 November at 14:00.

These examples describe the Corsican programme; they are not an agenda for every region. France Travail directs interested participants to its events platform, where they can search by department and use the filter dedicated to the disability employment week.

Discovering an occupation through DuoDay

The calendar also includes DuoDay, scheduled for 19 November. As France Travail explains it, the idea is to spend a day within an organisation alongside a professional, observing their work and taking part in their tasks.

Such an immersion offers a chance to explore a working environment; it does not amount to a job offer. Preparing to take part still requires the details of each appointment: venue, times, application arrangements and organiser contact. The week thus offers several possibilities, whose usefulness depends on each person's plans and expectations.
