Quality Supported Employment is a tried and tested highly effective way to help disabled people to gain meaningful paid jobs. Quite simply…
#SupportedEmploymentWorks
To this day, however, there is not enough knowledge about Supported Employment and how it differs from other employability services. Through this campaign we aim to raise awareness about Supported Employment and to promote this as the gold star specialist employability services of choice for policy makers, individuals, and for business.
The Campaign
Who should take part?
Any stakeholder that is passionate about the impact of quality Supported Employment should take part. This campaign is for the members by the members of SUSE. We all stand to gain from raising the profile of Supported Employment.
What are we asking SUSE members to do?
The first stage of this campaign will focus on raising political awareness.
Invite your local MSP/s, Councillors to visit your Supported Employment service and find out more about your work and the people you support.
Post pictures to your social media using #SupportedEmploymentWorks
SUSE Trustees have created a step-by-step guide on how you can be part of the campaign. This has been sent to all members.
The second stage of the campaign was launched at the SUSE Annual Conference on Tues 20th May.
