Handi-Sup Auvergne

What Handi-Sup Auvergne does

Handi-Sup Auvergne is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand that has operated for nearly 30 years accompanying people with disabilities from secondary school through to sustainable professional integration. It runs four service lines: accompaniment of young people (lycéens, étudiants, jeunes diplômés), accompaniment of job seekers, accompaniment of public and private employers, and accompaniment of training organizations. Core offerings include the annual Forum Régional Emploi Handicap (12th edition in 2022, 60+ employers), the DuoDay program during the European Week for Employment of Disabled Persons, mentorship/parrainage, candidate proposals, and a Service d'Accompagnement à la Vie Sociale (SAVS). The organization is led by President Emmanuel Patrier, supported by a small team of 5 employees and committed volunteers.

The association's revenue model is grant-driven rather than transactional. Primary funding comes from institutional partners — Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Conseil Départemental du Puy-de-Dôme — supplemented by Agefiph and FIPHFP co-financing and nominal membership dues (€10-€20). The technology stack is intentionally minimal: a WordPress-based website (handisupauvergne.org), Facebook (HSA63) and LinkedIn pages, email and phone contact channels, and no proprietary platform, app, or API. Go-to-market is relationship-led and event-driven, anchored by annual forums and direct employer outreach across banking, industrial, healthcare, energy, public-sector, and retail employers (Michelin, Crédit Agricole, BNP Paribas, CHU Clermont-Ferrand, Enedis, GRDF, Sopra Steria, Atos, Auchan). Strategic positioning is built on a dense regional ecosystem of 20+ employer and institutional partners rather than on technology differentiation.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• ADAPEI: Federation of French associations supporting people with intellectual disabilities, with strong local departmental chapters. Adjacent rather than direct: comparable social-services structure and institutional funding model, though more focused on intellectual disability than professional integration specifically.
• FIPHFP: Public-sector equivalent of Agefiph, funding disability inclusion in the French public administration. Operates conventions similar to the 2020 Handi-Sup / Conseil Départemental du Puy-de-Dôme convention but at national scale across all public employers.
• Agefiph: National private-sector fund that finances employer disability policies and accompanies workers with disabilities. Both a Handi-Sup funder and a competing provider of employer-side services; comparable because it operates disability-employment programs at a much larger national scale.
• UNAPEI: National federation representing associations supporting people with intellectual disabilities and their families. Comparable as a large-scale nonprofit social-services operator with regional chapters, but broader scope and primarily intellectual-disability focus.

Direct peers

• LADAPT: National French association providing social and professional accompaniment for people with disabilities, including vocational rehabilitation, training, and employer support. Comparable in mission and service mix to Handi-Sup Auvergne but operating nationally rather than regionally.
• ARPEJEH: French association that accompanies young people with disabilities through their educational journey and into professional insertion. Closely comparable to Handi-Sup Auvergne's young-person accompaniment pillar, with a similar school-to-employment pipeline model.
• Tremplin Handicap: Network of regional French associations organizing disability-employment forums and accompanying job seekers with disabilities, structurally analogous to Handi-Sup Auvergne. Comparable event-driven, regional convener model across multiple French regions.
• Cap Emploi: National network of state-funded specialized employment agencies in France dedicated to job placement and accompaniment of people with disabilities. Most directly comparable to Handi-Sup Auvergne because it competes for the same job-seeker population and the same employer-side disability sourcing mandate across regions.

Emerging players

• Handirect: French media and communications platform dedicated to disability employment and inclusion topics. A mutual partner of Handi-Sup Auvergne; comparable in advocacy and awareness mission, with overlapping employer audience.
• Talenteo: French recruitment platform and media outlet specialized in disability employment and inclusion. A named Handi-Sup partner; comparable because it addresses the same employer-and-candidate matchmaking need via a more scalable digital model.
