Integrate NEETs from priority neighborhoods of Lille Metropole through supervised co-working in the energy renovation

The project takes place in two priority urban districts of Lille Metropole in France. La Fabrique de l'Emploi aims to set up an innovative vocational training and peer-to-peer tutoring programme for young jobseekers to reintegrate them into the labour market. The target group is mainly young people who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). The courses provide technical skills in decarbonising buildings, as well as social skills in the workplace. Most of the training takes place as company training modules on worksites covered by contracts awarded under social clauses to Fabrique de l'Emploi or to integration projects. On the sites, the tutors are employees of La Fabrique de l'Emploi, all former long-term jobseekers living in the project area. This project creates mutual recognition between people in difficulty from the same neighbourhood, recreating an intergenerational social link through work.
