European Union of Supported Employment

Welcome by Michael J Evans, President

mike_evans.jpgThe European Union of Supported Employment (EUSE) is the European umbrella organisation for supported employment. The members of the EUSE are National Associations of Supported Employment in Europe.

EUSE was established in 1993 to facilitate the development of Supported Employment throughout Europe. The Union works to promote the Supported Employment model through the exchange of information and knowledge on good practice.

EUSE also provides a platform for its members to network with other organisations and associations at European and world level.

The European Union of Supported Employment has a membership of 19 National Associations and the EUSE Council aim to work hard during 2009 - 2011  to provide leadership and direction for supported employment organisations to increase employment opportunities for their clients.

We have been successful in our bid to receive funding from Leonardo Partnership funds and this has enabled EUSE to begin developing a European Supported Employment Toolkit. It is hoped that the Toolkit will be completed by Summer 2010.

I congratulate the Czech Union of Supported Employment for organising and delivering an excellent 9th EUSE Conference in May 2009.  I would also thank all the speakers, presenters and delegates whose professionalism and hard work ensured that the event was a huge success.

We look forward to working with our colleagues in Denmark to host the 10th EUSE Conference in Copenhagen in June 2011. More details will be available during 2010.

We also welcome our new National Association members, Switzerland and Wales who have extended our list of countries as members to 19.

Best wishes to all Supported Employment providers for 2010.

Mike
