Mission Regionale pour l'emploi de Mons-Borinage

What Mission Regionale pour l'emploi de Mons-Borinage does

Mission Régionale pour l'emploi de Mons-Borinage (MRMB) is a Belgian non-profit association (asbl) founded in 1993, headquartered in Frameries in the Hainaut province, that operates as a socio-professional insertion intermediary dedicated to placing low-qualified, long-term unemployed job seekers into local employment in the Mons-Borinage region. Its service mix is built around two core offerings: individualized jobcoaching (one-on-one accompaniment, employer prospecting, internship coordination, and post-employment follow-up delivered by a team of jobcoaches) and collective training projects (group-based work-preparation sequences, short technical training, and company internships). Two FSE+-co-financed sub-projects extend this base: A.L.A.D.In (€703,891 over three years, 345 additional accompaniments and 173 placement targets, five funded FTE jobcoaches) and J.A.S-M.In.E (€250,219.20 over 2.5 years, targeting 115 young job seekers aged 29 or under with 58 placement targets, two funded FTE jobcoaches). Operational reach is delivered through a central Frameries office and embedded permanence points at FOREM Mons, three Maisons de l'Emploi, and FOREM Dour.

MRMB employs approximately 20 staff including a director (Michela Spanoghe), coordinators, jobcoaches, an administrative and financial manager (Sandro Zago), a jobcoaching platform manager (Isabelle Buelens), trainers, reception agents, and a technical secretary responsible for the beneficiary database. Governance rests with an Administrative Board presided over by Frédéric Berthe. The organization has built a network of 363 employer partners over three years and maintains formal relationships with FOREM, CPAS, AVIQ, UWE, CCI Hainaut, trade unions (CSC, FGTB, CGSP), UVCW, Unipso, and Interfédé des CISP.

The business model is a public-grant-funded non-profit: MRMB generates no commercial revenue, provides all services free of charge to beneficiaries and employers, and is sustained by European Social Fund (FSE+) co-financing, Walloon Public Service (SPW) subsidies, and FOREM support. Reported 2025 outcomes include 561 people accompanied, 319 job placements of at least three months, and a 57.68% employment insertion rate on closed follow-ups, compared with 267 placements in 2024. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-led, with information management handled through an internally maintained database.

Core offering

MRMB is a non-profit socio-professional insertion organization that provides individualized job coaching and collective training programs to low-qualified job seekers in the Mons-Borinage region of Belgium, while simultaneously acting as an intermediary for local employers by prospecting job vacancies, screening candidates, and coordinating internships or immersions. All services are free of charge, funded through European Social Fund (FSE/FSE+) and Walloon Public Service (SPW) subsidies, and delivered via jobcoaches operating across multiple service points in the region.

Product overview

MRMB operates as a social and professional integration organization offering two interconnected core services: Jobcoaching (individualized employment support) and Collective Training Projects (group-based training programs). The organization also manages two ESF-funded sub-projects (A.L.A.D.In and J.A.S-M.In.E) that extend its employment support capacity for specific target populations. The jobcoaching platform serves as the primary interface connecting qualified job seekers with employer-partners through individualized accompaniment, employer prospecting, and internship coordination.
