MireWapi

What MireWapi does

MireWapi (legal name: Mission régionale pour l'Emploi de Wallonie picarde A.S.B.L.) is a Belgian non-profit employment agency founded in 1995 and headquartered in Tournai. Designated under the 13 December 2023 Walloon Decree on Regional Employment Missions, it operates as the regional employment mission for Wallonia Picarde, delivering free-of-charge employment coaching, training, and recruitment services through a network of 10 antennas across municipalities including Tournai, Comines-Warneton, Mouscron, Estaimpuis, Leuze-en-Hainaut, Ath, Lessines, Péruwelz, Basècles, and Bernissart.

The organization's service portfolio comprises seven core offerings: individualized jobcoaching, collective workshops, alternating training (formation alternée), employer visits and networking, professional internships, comprehensive recruitment support for businesses, and post-employment follow-up for up to six months. Its core technology is Casimire, a proprietary online application developed specifically for the Mire sector to encode and manage beneficiary data; MireWapi also transmits RIAC follow-up information to Le Forem as part of the coaching-oriented support framework. Operations are GDPR-compliant, and the organization is subject to oversight from the Department of Employment and Vocational Training and the Inspection department of the Walloon Public Service.

MireWapi is funded by the Walloon Region, Le Forem, and the European Social Fund (FSE), with additional project-specific support from sectoral funds. It has no parent company and no equity ownership structure, functioning as an A.S.B.L. governed by an administrative body. It serves three principal stakeholder segments — job seekers, local employers, and institutional partners (communes, CPAS, CISP, training operators) — but generates no direct commercial revenue, distributing all services free of charge with no duration commitment.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Pôle Emploi: France's national public employment agency. Operates the same core functions (coaching, employer matching, training referral) at national scale, useful as a structural benchmark for the Mire model.
• Forem: Walloon public employment and vocational training service. MireWapi sends RIAC follow-up data to Forem and operates as a regional layer underneath it; Forem is the closest analog at greater scale and breadth across Wallonia.

Regional players

• VDAB: Flemish public employment and vocational training service. Analogous public-sector role in matching job seekers with employers and funding training, operating in the Flemish Region.
• Actiris: Brussels-Capital public employment service. Comparable public mandate (jobseeker coaching, employer matching, training referral) but in a different region under different funding authority.

Direct peers

• InterMire: Federation of the regional Walloon Mire missions. Coordinates the network, operates shared back-office functions (including Casimire), and provides collective representation to funders.
• Mirelux: A sibling regional employment mission (Mire) operating under the same Walloon decree framework in Luxembourg province. Directly comparable model, network partner, and beneficiary cohort.
• Mirebw: Sister Mire mission covering Brabant wallon under the same decree. Shares the Casimire platform via InterMire and operates the same coaching/training/follow-up portfolio.

Others

• Randstad Belgium: Major private staffing/employment services operator active in Belgium. Represents the private-sector counterpoint to MireWapi's public model for both job-seeker placement and employer-side recruitment.
• IFAPME: Walloon institute for alternate learning, apprenticeship, and SME training. Supplies training capacity that complements MireWapi's alternating programs and shares overlapping apprenticeship/apprentice cohorts.
• CPAS de Tournai: Public Center for Social Welfare for Tournai — strategic referral partner that channels beneficiaries into MireWapi. Operates an adjacent social-welfare mission rather than direct employment services.
