In Auderghem, multiple avenues are open to promote the professional inclusion of people with disabilities. Between local job offers, hiring aids, and specialized services, here is an overview of what exists — and the levers to activate.

 
1. Job offers and local schemes 

• In Auderghem, there are regularly job offers reserved for or accessible to people with disabilities: for example, ads on Indeed show several hundred jobs in Auderghem intended for candidates with disabilities. 

• The Optioncarrière website also lists offers in the field of disability support around Auderghem. 

• The municipality publishes on its "Our job offers" page the vacant positions within the local administration. This can include work adaptations according to the profiles of candidates. 

• The Local Employment Agency (ALE) of Auderghem is a local service that assists with placement and offers local hiring aids, Activa cards, first jobs, etc. These can be interesting for people with disabilities depending on their abilities and situation. 

2. Regional aids and support 

• The PHARE Service (Brussels-Capital Region) plays a central role: it offers employment aids for employers who hire a person with a disability, specialized employment support services, and insertion measures. 

• There is also the PHARE insertion bonus, which encourages the hiring of people with disabilities by compensating part of the costs or possible losses related to adapting the workstation. 

• The specialized employment support services assist people with disabilities in their search, task adaptation, or administrative steps for recognition of their disability. 

 3. Challenges & avenues for improvement

• Accessibility of offered positions: even if offers exist, many do not mention possible adaptations (telecommuting, flexible hours, physical accessibility, technical aids). This may hinder applications.

• Visibility of aid schemes for employers and candidates: it is useful for employers in Auderghem to be better informed about PHARE aids and for people with disabilities to be supported to understand their rights/privileges.

• Training & awareness: training local companies, the municipal administration, and associations to adapt their work environment (ergonomics, communication, inclusion) can make a difference.

• Coordination between services: better connecting job offers, administrative aids, personalized support at both municipal and regional levels to avoid loss of information or invisible barriers.

Auderghem, like the Brussels Region as a whole, has a legal framework and concrete schemes to promote the employment of people with disabilities: dedicated offers, financial aids, specialized services. To ensure these possibilities fit daily reality, visibility of existing means must be strengthened, workstations adapted, and inclusion made a priority in all sectors.
