Résumé : Cet article enquête sur les effets à long terme du programme ACEE (Accès à la communauté, à l’emploi et à l’éducation), programme d’insertion pour des jeunes en situation de handicap qui les prépare à la vie professionnelle et à la vie d’adulte. Dans une enquête aux méthodes mixtes, les chercheurs ont interrogé par questionnaire soixante-six jeunes en situation de handicap qui sont des anciens de ce programme. Ensuite, l’enquête a été poursuivie en menant des entretiens individuels et de groupe approfondis avec dix de ces anciens. Les résultats montrent que les jeunes sont bien inclus quant à leur participation sociale et leur mobilité. Beaucoup sont très actifs et font partie de réseaux sociaux différents, comme la famille, les amis ou les associations. De l’autre côté, l’enquête fait également ressortir les problèmes quant à l’emploi et au logement. D’un autre côté, l’emploi est souvent précaire et sous-payé et le logement dépend souvent des familles des jeunes, car ils n’ont pas beaucoup d’alternatives à leur choix.

Mots-clés : Emploi - Handicap - Jeunesse - Participation sociale - Transitions de vie - Vie en autonomie.

Life Trajectories and life course transitions of young adults with disabilities: an alumni study of a professional youth transition program

Summary: This article examines the long-term effects of the ACEE program (Access to Community, Employment and Education), which is a transition program preparing youth with disabilities for employment and adult life. In a mixed-method approach, the researchers have surveyed sixty-six youth with disabilities who are alumni of this program and followed up with in-depth interviews and focus groups of ten of those alumni. The results show that the youth are well engaged when it comes to social participation and mobility. Many of them are very active and are involved into different social networks such as family, friends or organizations. On the other hand, the study also shows issues when it comes to employment and housing. Employment is often precarious and underpaid, and housing often depends on the families of those youth, as there are not many alternatives to choose from.

Keywords: Disability - Employment - Independent living - Life course transition - Social participation - Youth.
