USEL are inviting local businesses and community organisations to attend a coffee morning in Omagh to find out more about how they can help people with disabilities or health related conditions move into or return to employment.
USEL is the largest employer of disabled people in Northern Ireland and are committed to providing the training and development needed to expand the choice of employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Each year the organisation supports over 1200 disabled people in more than 600 companies to enter and sustain paid employment through their various employment programmes.
The coffee morning will take place on Thursday 17th October 2009 between 10.00 am and 13.00pm in USEL’s office in Anderson House, Market Street. The event will be an opportunity for local businesses to find out more about how they can help people with disabilities or
health related conditions into the workplace and also to raise awareness among community groups of the help that is available to disabled people. Members of the local community will be in attendance to discuss their experiences of the employment programmes and USEL staff will be on hand to answer any questions.
Siobhan Quinn, USEL’s Employment Services Officer who heads the Omagh office commented” Our aim is to successfully integrate any person with a disability into the workplace and this would not be possible without the help of local organisations. Since our arrival in Omagh we have received great support from the business community and with their help we hope to continue to successfully place various clients in industry sectors of their choice throughout their local area”.
