What Info Jeunes Occitanie does

Info Jeunes Occitanie (legally Centre Régional Information Jeunesse Occitanie, or CRIJ Occitanie) is a French loi 1901 non-profit association headquartered in Toulouse with a regional presence in Montpellier, founded in 1982 and operating with 11-50 employees. Its stated mission is to provide free, anonymous, and personalized information to young people aged 11 to 30 to support their autonomy across all life domains, including orientation, training, employment, housing, international mobility, civic engagement, health, digital literacy, and rights access. The association is the regional node of the national Information Jeunesse network, holding the State-granted Label Information Jeunesse for six years and coordinating approximately 90 local Points Info Jeunes across the 13 departments of Occitanie alongside its own 7 direct sites (5 in Toulouse, 2 in Montpellier). Services are delivered free of charge through individual accompaniment, collective workshops, events (Salons TAF, Job Days, housing forums), digital resources, and social-media outreach via the Promeneurs du Net program on Instagram, Snapchat, and Messenger.

Its core product surface spans a regional website (crij.org), an online job and internship board, the ID.Stages Occitanie internship platform, the Boussole des Jeunes access-to-rights tool, and interactive pedagogical kits distributed under Creative Commons (CC-BY-SA). A notable technical component is Le Labo, a virtual reality professional situation simulator that immerses users in workplace scenarios to develop soft skills such as empathy, communication, stress management, and teamwork. Additional programs include Explore+ (support for unschooled youth), Job Numéris (long-term personalized accompaniment), Info Métiers (career discovery), and cross-border mobility initiatives (EOLE Occitanie, Trampoline) backed by POCTEFA funding. The organization does not charge users and operates a public-service business model financed by institutional grants from Région Occitanie, DRAJES Occitanie, Préfecture de la Région, Conseil Départemental 31, Conseil Départemental 34, Mairie de Toulouse / Toulouse Métropole, CAF Haute-Garonne, CAF Hérault, and European funds; it is not a commercial enterprise, has no venture or private equity backing, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): French national employment service providing job-search assistance, including for youth. CRIJ Occitanie partners with France Travail for Job Days but France Travail is the much larger incumbent in employment guidance with broader scope and funding base.
• Apprentis d'Auteuil: Large French foundation supporting vulnerable youth through education, training, and family programs. Comparable youth-services mission and public-interest orientation, though deeper into education provision and social care than information/guidance.
• European Youth Card Association (EYCA): Pan-European association offering youth discounts and mobility services to 11–30 year-olds across 40+ countries. Comparable age-targeted mission and European institutional backing; EYCA operates at supranational scale versus CRIJ's regional scope.

Direct peers

• CIDJ (Centre d'Information et de Documentation Jeunesse): National hub of the Information Jeunesse network in Paris, providing the same free, State-labeled youth information and guidance services as CRIJ Occitanie but at national scope. Direct structural peer within the IJ ecosystem.
• Missions Locales: Network of ~4,400 local structures in France providing free guidance to 16–25 year-olds on employment, training, housing, and health. Highly comparable target audience, mission, and public-funded model, though CRIJ covers a broader age range (11–30) and topic set.
• Eurodesk: European youth information network focused on mobility and EU opportunities for young people. Highly comparable as a multi-country youth information and guidance operator; CRIJ Occitanie runs complementary cross-border mobility programs (EOLE Occitanie, Trampoline).

Others

• La Ligue de l'Enseignement: Large French secular association delivering civic education, youth programs, and lifelong learning. Comparable as a non-profit civic organization serving youth and adults with public-mission funding; complementary rather than directly competing on employment guidance.

Emerging players

• AFPA (Agence nationale pour la formation professionnelle des adultes): French national agency for adult vocational training and reskilling. Comparable in serving adults seeking career transitions and training, with overlap on orientation and employment support for CRIJ Occitanie's older youth segment.
