Current Projects

We deliver regular learning and development projects which try out new approaches to improve services for disabled people. These are delivered in partnership with member organisations who typically carry out the face to face activities with employers and jobseekers with SUSE taking a co-ordinating, management and reporting role.

This is a critical time for our sector during a time of significant economic uncertainty. The Scottish Government have set a target to half the Disability Employment Gap in Scotland by 2038 – at present only 50% of disabled people are working, compared to 82% of their non-disabled peers.

There is also the ongoing roll out of the No One Left Behind agenda and the Scottish Government’s review of Supported Employment. These developments will have a great influence on our activities in the coming years and the work we prioritise with our members and stakeholders.
