Quare OÜ

What Quare OÜ does

Quare OÜ is an Estonian private limited company operating a small training and consultation center ("Koolituskeskus Quare") focused on supporting people with disabilities in employment and education. Its core offering is a portfolio of professional development programs — including a 156-hour rehabilitation team specialist continuing education program, Supported Employment methodology training (TTR, delivered in 52-hour and 104-hour curricula), and dedicated tracks on accommodating learners with special needs in classrooms and employees with special needs in workplaces. Complementing the training business, Quare operates Jobpics, a licensed picture-based career counseling tool based on the RIASEC system (139 picture cards covering 588 occupations) that is adapted to the Estonian labor market and designed for individuals who cannot use text-based questionnaires, including those with autism spectrum disorders, learning difficulties, reading/writing challenges, or language barriers. Quare also runs the TTR MTÜ non-profit that connects Supported Employment methodology practitioners across Estonia.

The company generates revenue exclusively through professional service fees for training delivery and consultations, with no public pricing and all quotes handled through direct email and phone contact. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on the company website, the TTR MTÜ and Jobpics microsites, and inbound inquiries, with no evidence of paid digital marketing. Customers span social sector professionals and rehabilitation specialists (primary), employers, and educational institutions across Estonia. The operation is highly founder-dependent: only two trainers — Mari Kalbin and Birgit Ulrich — are publicly identified, both with deep backgrounds at Astangu Vocational Rehabilitation Centre, and Mari Kalbin simultaneously serves as a service and project developer at the Estonian Health Insurance Fund (Tervisekaksa). There is no external investment, no parent company, no disclosed revenue, and no app or platform distribution, positioning Quare as a capacity-constrained, niche professional services micro-firm rather than a scalable technology business.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• SEFinland ry (Supported Employment Finland): Finnish national association providing Supported Employment methodology training and quality assurance. Comparable as a neighboring-country SE training provider serving a similar Nordic welfare-state ecosystem.
• Association of Vocational Rehabilitation Enterprises (Norway): Norwegian originators of the Jobpics assessment tool and a long-running supported employment training provider. Comparable as a Nordic counterpart with mature SE training programs and as the licensor of Quare's flagship assessment asset.
• Supported Employment programmes (UK, e.g. British Association for Supported Employment): UK-based supported employment training and accreditation body running SE specialist training, quality standards, and employer-facing programs. Comparable as a more mature national SE training ecosystem operating in a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• Innove (Foundation for Lifelong Learning): Estonian government-affiliated organization coordinating adult education, vocational training, and EU-funded workforce development programs. A likely counterpart or competitor for publicly funded continuing-education training contracts in Estonia.
• Töötukassa (Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund): National employment agency operating VR-adjacent programs, employer training, and disability employment services across Estonia. Significantly larger and publicly funded, but overlapping in employer training and supported employment buyer-side mandate.

Others

• EASPD (European Association of Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities): European network representing disability service providers, including vocational rehabilitation and supported employment programs. Comparable as an ecosystem and policy counterpart whose membership overlaps with Quare's buyer base.
• EUSE (European Union of Supported Employment): European industry body setting Supported Employment quality standards, accrediting training, and convening practitioners. Comparable as the umbrella organization whose framework Quare's TTR MTÜ mirrors nationally.

Direct peers

• Astangu Kutserehabilitatsiooni Keskus: Estonia's principal vocational rehabilitation center and the institution where Quare's trainers built their expertise. Operates overlapping rehabilitation, employment, and training programs for people with disabilities, making it the closest direct comparable even though it is also Quare's training partner.
