Colfontaine - Territory zero long-term unemployed

We wish to develop a territorial initiative(s) aimed at ensuring that any permanently unemployed person has access to permanent employment by developing a useful and non-competitive activity with the existing one, linked to the unmet needs of the territory (economic base) in order to allow them to reintegrate into the labour market. This innovative approach starts from the needs of individuals within territories and implies a bottom-up dynamic of mobilization of local actors with a strong link to the territory. The aim will be to provide people with quality employment in line with their skills and aspirations through an open-ended employment contract with a work regime chosen by the person and a decent level of pay. To achieve this, we are building on a real local dynamic by bringing together all those involved in the employment and reintegration of the target area (school for social promotion, adapted work enterprise, neighbourhood management, social cohesion plan, FTA, etc.) as well as real animation of the area.
