The DuoDay initiative, taking place in 2026, aims to highlight the strengths and professional qualities of workers with disabilities through warm and supportive encounters. The principle is to welcome, for one national day, a person with a disability paired with a volunteer professional.
This immersion offers the welcomed individual the opportunity to discover a profession, a work environment, and new career prospects. For the host organizations, it's a chance to showcase their missions, share their expertise, and adopt a different perspective on disability in the workplace.
For individuals with disabilities, DuoDay provides an opportunity to explore a professional environment, refine a career project, and convince an employer of their potential for integration, performance, and autonomy.
Professionals in employment, support, and training can use DuoDay to better understand employers' expectations and hesitations, enabling them to provide more effective support for integrating workers with disabilities.
Employers wishing to offer a duo opportunity or individuals with disabilities interested in this experience are encouraged to submit their applications via the online forms available on the DuoDay website. The organizing team and its local partners will then handle the logistics, including duo arrangements and internship agreements.
This day will contribute to shifting perspectives and creating new opportunities, making DuoDay 2026 a step towards a more open, accessible, and inclusive territorial public service.
