Employment inclusion: CISE TP signs a national agreement with the AFPA
Via the Saur Water Academy, Cise TP signed a national agreement at the AFPA adult and vocational training centre in Doué-la-Fontaine on 7 March setting out its commitment to provide employment opportunities and training for employees under professional training contracts. This partnership follows up on a pilot experiment run last year in Nîmes and its surrounding area.
With this national partnership, Cise TP wishes to promote its work/study recruitment campaign and recruit the future pipelayers needed by its branches throughout France. This partnership addresses a number of different goals:
- Recruitment via employment inclusion: by implementing its own principles of equal opportunity, diversity and discrimination prevention, the Saur Group prioritises the employment inclusion of jobseekers at the earliest opportunity when recruitment opportunities arise
- Local recruitment: working with the 2018-2019 intake of trainees at four AFPA training centres, we will soon have recruited and trained more than 30 employees with the assistance of the Pole Emploi national employment service, Constructys and other local job creation, employment inclusion and training partners
- Recruiting to fill areas of employment with high demand: Cise TP has 53 pipelayre vacancies to fill throughout France, and is offering guaranteed jobs in an area of expertise where employers are struggling to find staff
An agreement that structures the regional network
The AFPA will have responsibility for the training aspects of the employment inclusion project. The collaboration began in 2018 with a local project conducted in association with the AFPA training centre in Nîmes. Following the unqualified success of this experimental pilot, the national rollout will be structured around:- The Lorient and Nîmes Centres: the candidates for these two AFPA training centres signed their professional training contracts on 11 February this year, following a very encouraging hands-on employment preparatory (POEC) course. We had a total of 13 vacancies to fill, and all 13 have been filled
- The Doué-la-Fontaine Centre: we had 19 vacancies to fill, and 10 applicants have been recruited. They are now completing their preparatory training course, and are due to sign their professional training contracts on 7 March
- The Bernes-sur-Oise Centre: 21 vacancies to be filled with the assistance of the Persan, Marne-la-Vallée, Rosny-sur-Seine and Roye branches of the Pole Emploi national employment service. The selection process and group information sessions began on 19 February
