The employment rate of young people with disability is half the current rate among individuals of the same age in Europe. This deplorable state of affair is not in our view resulting solely from the tense economic situation. In hindsight it appears that granting young people with disability with a full-fledged access to education, training and employment has always been a problem for given member states of the European community. The European Union as well as member states have ratified the UN Convention of the right of persons with disabilities. This strong symbolic act is meant to convey the message that people with disability shall no longer be considered as an exception to the rule but rather as full-fledged citizens whose rights have to be promoted. This political act indicates that non-discrimination and promotion of fundamental rights are a common task. Politicians, economic actors, media and citizens alike are all responsible in this endeavor. Meanwhile the European Union and its member states are promoting through law and regulations that anyone from the northern to the southern part of the continent as well as from the western to the eastern part implement policies and strategies that aim at securing career paths. What is it all about? Access to employment is intricate especially for people with disability as redundancies, transitions between professional activities and unemployment, access to vocational training and returning to work can be hard to manage. Career paths have therefore to be secured. In order to do so, it requires to lay the ground for a realistic and above all lasting individual project, to identify the essential stages and to support the person. EASPD, EMPLEA, SCUOLA VIVA and L’ADAPT are complementary organizations considering their competencies and skills. They are bound together through their DNA contained in their institutional projects. We claim our commitment to translate into proposals and actions the principles enshrined in the international convention of the right of persons with disabilities. With this project we establish a link between implementing the rights of young people with disability and shaping strategies to secure career paths from skill developments to integration in work. Providing security for career paths and supporting employment is our first proposal. Indicators for monitoring and recording good practices will lead to editing two documents: - A guideline for providing security for career paths and supporting employment in Europe, - A training resource for professionals involved in these matters. Our second proposal is related to the training of 120 professionals from our national networks and beyond. We will spread information and good practices gathered through observation and edited in guides in order to support people with disability in work. Our third proposal is to extend to Europe the concept of the week for the employment of people with disability which has been carried in France for more than 18 years in a row. The week for the employment of people with disability is a set of actions such as jobdatings, employment fora and handicafés carried with companies. They are aiming at facilitating the encounter between employers and job seekers with disability. The week for the employment of people with disability is also consisting of streets actions in order to raise public awareness. We would also like to edit a guideline based upon the best practices of every partner involved in the European week for the employment with people with disability. This guideline will be used as a grid for the training of 100 activists: volunteers, employees, managers and so on. We aim at contributing to reassess the situation of young people with disability regarding their access to training and lasting employment. This European initiative will synthesize our skills and good practices and will disseminate them. We will review the programme on a yearly basis in order to evaluate our action. International conferences will be held in order to share our experiences. We will make sure that they are fully accessible.
