Nîmes: the handicap overcome to find work

Pôle emploi and Cap emploi are united to provide solutions. In a handicap situation, Claire Buchet takes the opportunity to recover.

In Pôle emploi di agencies Courbessac and Saint-Césaire, Claire Buchet, from Nîmoise actively looking for a job, has not missed a crumb of the presentations of formations and business meetings set up as part of the European Week for Employment with Disabilities.

In recognition of disabled worker status after an injury at work in logistics (she worked there for ten years), she carries on despite chronic pain that treatment and an iron will allow her to overcome.

“A job suited to my care”

Accompanied within Pôle emploi by a consultant from Cap Emploi, a specialized employment organization, thanks to a successful partnership between these two organisations, Claire Buchet took advantage of this European week “to obtain information as part of my future professional project”.

In fact, three years after her accident at work, punctuated by hospitalizations and treatments, she who claims to be looking for “of a job suited to my care” wants to become an employment consultant. An internship at the interim agency ID EES will begin on Friday 18 November.

Motivation

A choice that speaks to this 35-year-old woman: “This agency offers single mothers or fathers who receive RSA or those who have been affected by an accident in their life socio-professional support. This is also why I participate in the European Week actions to get ideas to enrich my project. “

This motivation, Pascale Bastide, team leader of the Pôle emploi Courbessac, the one whose consultants have 70% of people with disabilities in their portfolio, notices it regularly.

This was the case again on Monday 14 November during Operation Handi. “Usually, in this type of training presentation, we have more absenteeism than that. There, 40 people responded to our invitation. Job seekers with disabilities will rank more than others on our actions.”

In Courbessac, since January 2021, Cap emploi and Pôle emploi have been working side by side in the same place of support. The results are positive: “The advantage for job seekers is that the consultants of the two organizations are located on the same premises, which allows for cross-diagnosis”emphasizes Pascale Bastide.

The actions implemented this week clearly show the benefits of this joint work: “For us, procedures and access to services are faster”, Claire Buchet confides. For her, initiatives with companies change people’s perception: “It’s less taboo, less hidden than before access to work for people with disabilities”. To get rid of prejudices.
