APF France handicap enables inclusive employment through the Test’In program

BearingPoint and APF France handicap, a non-profit organization that aims to improve the lives of people with disabilities, joined forces to launch the Test’In program, which provides support and employment opportunities to people with disabilities. The program offers an excellent environment for participants to gain the necessary training, experience and a recognized certification to help them secure employment as testers or IT support. During the first rollout of the program, one of the clients that took a participant on board was the Agence Nationale de la Cohésion des Territoires (ANCT). On completion of the first Test’In release, all seven participants were successfully trained and certified and are now employed in the IT sector, with three of them working at BearingPoint.

The second program rollout is underway with positive results expected for all eight new participants.

For a non-profit organization like APF France handicap, whose mission is to create job opportunities for people with disabilities, it is particularly important to establish strong ties with leading private companies. BearingPoint is one of them. Together, we have been highly engaged in the Test’In project. We went to great lengths to get to know the program’s participants and mobilized our networks to provide meaningful engagements and opportunities for them. We are confident that the skills of the Test’In participants have been significantly enhanced with this program.
