AMIE du Boulonnais

What AMIE du Boulonnais does

AMIE du Boulonnais is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) headquartered at 10 All\u00e9e M\u00e9hul, Boulogne-sur-Mer, that delivers public employment and social integration services across the Grand Boulonnais territory covering 74 communes and 3 intercommunalities (CAB, CCDS, CCT2C). Formed in June 2019 by merging the legacy Mission Locale du Boulonnais (founded 1983), PLIE du Boulonnais (1993), and Maison de l'Emploi et de la Formation du Boulonnais (2006), the association unified three previously separate employment-support missions under one operational roof. It serves young people aged 16-25 (through the CEJ and PACEA contractual programs), adults 26+ facing employment barriers (through the PLIE program with up to 6 months post-hire follow-up), and local businesses (recruitment support, candidate preselection, hiring-aid mobilization). Services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries and the organization is funded by institutional partners including the EU (FSE+), Conseil R\u00e9gional des Hauts-de-France, D\u00e9partement du Pas-de-Calais, France Travail, DREETS, and the three local EPCI communities.

The association operates a service portfolio spanning individualized accompaniment (3,700 people supported annually), sector awareness workshops (8,100 collective workshop attendances in 2024 across 31 monthly sessions), professional immersions (PMSMP), apprenticeship facilitation, and dedicated cross-cutting support for mobility (Bouger c'est Permis driving-license subsidy, Marin\u00e9o transit workshops), housing (CLLAJ), health, and psychological well-being. It runs employer services reaching 389 local businesses per year and community programs including the CEJ Ambassadeurs peer-mentor scheme (20-25 young ambassadors per cohort), the Summer Tour mobile outreach, and annual forums such as Form \u00e0 Fond and the Salon des M\u00e9tiers des Bords de Mer.

The technology footprint is modest: a digital service portal (Portail ML) handles pre-registration, workshop booking, job offers, and training offers, integrated with the national Portails des Missions Locales job board and Microsoft Forms for satisfaction surveys. The association has 89 employees, of whom approximately 60% are social and professional insertion counselors, organized into four operational poles (Parcours et Accompagnement; D\u00e9veloppement et Innovation sociale; Recrutement Entreprises et Fili\u00e8res; Administratif et Financier). Quality is certified by AFNOR (R\u00e9f\u00e9rentiel Engagement de Service) and the Label du r\u00e9seau national des Missions Locales (December 2025), with a 90%+ reported user satisfaction rate. Governance rests with a board of directors comprising elected officials and economic-sector representatives; presidency passed from Philippe Beaujard to Guillaume Leblond in July 2025.

Product overview

The organization operates as a multi-module service platform offering personalized employment support across all life stages—from youth (16-25) through the CEJ and PACEA programs with workshops and ambassador networks, to adults (26+) through PLIE with post-employment follow-up. Core services include job board management, apprenticeship facilitation, company immersion (PMSMP), and specialized support for mobility (Bouger c'est Permis), housing (CLLAJ), health, and psychological well-being. Business services support 389 companies annually with recruitment, pre-selection, and onboarding aid. The organization runs awareness campaigns including Summer Tour 2026, Form à Fond, and the Fêtes de la Mer partnership, and maintains 31 presence locations across the Boulonnais territory.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• AFPA (Agence nationale pour la formation professionnelle des adultes): National vocational training operator that frequently co-delivers training pathways referenced in CEJ/PACEA programming; comparable in the workforce-readiness sphere with stronger focus on training provision.
• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): National public employment agency operating across all French territories. Overlaps heavily with AMIE on job-seeker registration, employer placement services, and CEJ co-financing; broader scale and more limited dedicated local accompaniment.
• UNML (Union Nationale des Missions Locales): Federation representing France's ~440 Missions Locales, including AMIE. Issued the Label awarded to AMIE in December 2025; comparable in mission, accreditation role, and national coordination of insertion policy.

Direct peers

• Mission Locale de Calaisis: A neighboring Mission Locale in Pas-de-Calais providing identical youth (16-25) insertion services via CEJ/PACEA frameworks. Closest functional peer given overlapping territory and service scope.
• Maison de l'Emploi de Lille: Another Maison de l'Emploi structure in Hauts-de-France, with identical employer-engagement, training-development, and territorial economic-development mandate as AMIE's third merged entity.
• Cap Emploi: National network specialized in employment for people with disabilities. Named partner of AMIE; comparable in Mission Locale-adjacent insertion work but focused exclusively on disability accommodation and adapted employment pathways.
• PLIE du Calaisis / PLIE de l'Artois: Comparable Plan Local pour l'Insertion et l'Emploi structures in adjacent Pas-de-Calais territories, providing identical 26+ adult insertion pathway programming that AMIE delivers through its PLIE pole.

Emerging players

• ADIE (Association pour le Droit à l'Initiative Économique): National association financing and supporting micro-entrepreneurs from disadvantaged backgrounds. Overlap is partial: both focus on socio-professional insertion, but ADIE specializes in business creation rather than employment placement.

Others

• FACE (Fondation Agir Contre l'Exclusion): National foundation running employer-engagement and anti-discrimination programs similar to AMIE's "Kom vous Zette" campaign, with comparable corporate partnership models and territorial anchoring.

Regional players

• APEC (Association Pour l'Emploi des Cadres): National association for executive/cadres employment. Provides partial overlap on employer-matching, but specialized in higher-skilled roles, complementing rather than directly replacing AMIE's offerings.
