Local Employment Mission

What Local Employment Mission does

Local Employment Mission (Mission Locale Pour l'Emploi, MLPE) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 1982, headquartered at 13 rue Martin Bucer in Strasbourg. It is part of the national Mission Locale network and operates as a designated territorial actor for youth public employment policy. The organization provides free, integrated accompaniment services to approximately 7,000 beneficiaries per year, comprising around 6,000 young people aged 16-25 and 1,000 RSA (Revenu de Solidarité Active) beneficiaries, across the Strasbourg Eurométropole territory.

Service delivery is structured around four core pillars — Orientation (career guidance and skills assessment), Formation (training support and financing access), Emploi (job search, CV/interview preparation, employer matching, company visits), and Vie quotidienne (holistic daily-life support covering housing, healthcare, mobility, citizenship). Specialized programs include the Contrat Engagement Jeune (CEJ), a 6-12 month intensive pathway launched in March 2022 replacing Garantie Jeunes; FAJ'EMS emergency financial assistance; JOB PRO (6-month intensive RSA accompaniment co-financed at €252,300); JOB COACHING (short-duration high-employability coaching under 3 months); and the Orientation Active 16-week module co-financed by EU FSE at €106,700 in 2025. The organization operates 10 physical sites and maintains an online job board with active listings. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; operations rely on standard office IT infrastructure.

The business model is grant-funded: revenue is not publicly disclosed but is sourced from the French State, Region Grand Est, Collectivité Européenne d'Alsace, Eurométropole de Strasbourg, multiple municipalities, and the European Union (FSE/FSE+), with EU funding co-financing specific programs. Governance rests on a Board of Directors composed of elected officials and institutional representatives, currently presided by Marie-Dominique DREYSSE (Municipal Councilor of Strasbourg), with executive direction under Sylvie SCHRENCK. Headcount is approximately 80-90 employees, with Christophe GELIN leading youth mission and digital initiatives. All services are provided free of charge to both job seekers and employers.
