Creating Inclusive Employment Across Northern Ireland

We’re proud to share the impact of the empower Project, a partnership between Usel., Disability Action, and Specialisterne Northern Ireland.

Together, we’ve supported over 1,500 disabled, neurodivergent, and long-term health condition participants, helping them build skills, secure jobs, and sustain employment.

Here’s what we delivered:
✔️ 730 jobs secured
✔️ 615 jobs sustained after 6 months
✔️ 2,700+ training outcomes
✔️ Programme delivered across all 11 local authority areas
✔️ 1,000+ employers engaged and supported

This is what inclusive, person-centred employment looks like. Thank you to everyone who made it possible.

Let’s keep building a more accessible, more equitable Northern Ireland.

Please reach out to us at empower@disabilityaction.org or call/text Michael at 07970226903 to discuss how we can support you
