EU Disability Employment Week Turns 30: SEEPH 2026 Runs 16–22 November with 536+ Events Across Europe

Summary

The 30th edition of the Semaine Européenne pour l'Emploi des Personnes Handicapées (SEEPH) runs 16–22 November 2026, co-organised by LADAPT, Agefiph and FIPHFP under the theme 'Démystifier, simplifier, accompagner. L'emploi pour toutes et tous'. The week includes DuoDay on 19 November — where employers pair up with a disabled jobseeker for a day — and the Talents Handicap online forum (6–26 November) with 2,328 job offers from committed employers. Over 536 events are registered across France alone. The EU disability employment gap still stands at 24 percentage points (roughly 51% vs 75%). The 30th anniversary comes amid growing momentum: Agefiph director Caroline Dekerle told Le Monde that disability employment in France has improved 'over the past five or six years'. For inclusive employers, the week is a practical moment to launch DuoDay placements, run internal awareness sessions, or register for local job-dating events.
