Creating space for talent: supporting Assjette’s mission with ClickShare

3 min leestijd

Nestled in a former convent in Hasselt, Belgium, vzw Assjette helps adults with autism discover their strengths, build confidence, and find meaningful opportunities in the world of work.

Founded ten years ago, the organization supports adults with autism through coaching, workplace guidance, and tailored employment pathways, helping them navigate the transition from education to professional life.

"The people we support are intelligent, talented, and motivated," says coordinator Colette Vandebeek. "The challenges they encounter often have less to do with their abilities and more to do with the environment around them. That's why we focus on strengths, opportunities, and creating the right support."

A name with a story

That philosophy is reflected in Assjette's name. The letters ASS refer to autism spectrum, the community it supports. J stands for Jobs, representing the organization's focus on helping people find meaningful employment through tailored guidance and support. And ETTE is a nod to the French word assiette (plate), which inspired the organization's tagline: "Een bord vol kansen" ("A plate full of opportunities").

Earlier this year, Assjette moved into a larger location in Hasselt, creating new possibilities for learning, collaboration, and growth.

The building offers quiet spaces, dedicated work areas, an atelier, and meeting facilities for training sessions, workshops, and events.

The additional space allows Assjette to create an environment that better reflects its mission: a place where people can develop their talents and take steps toward meaningful employment at their own pace.

To support their activities and collaboration in its new location, Barco donated three ClickShare units.

ClickShare technology is intuitive and easy to use, whether it's for team meetings, coaching sessions, presentations, or events. We use it every day. It helps us create a welcoming and professional environment for everyone who uses our spaces.

ClickShare not only supports Assjette's day-to-day activities but also enables the organizations, community groups, and businesses using its meeting facilities to share ideas and connect more easily.

Creating opportunities together

"Assjette does valuable work by helping people discover and develop their talents. We're happy that ClickShare can support the many conversations, workshops, and collaborations that take place in this new environment.

It's rewarding to know that our technology can help create a welcoming and professional setting for everyone who comes through its doors," says Jan van Houtte, EVP Meeting Experience at Barco.
