Areram Relais Formation

What Areram Relais Formation does

Areram Relais Formation is a French non-profit vocational training organization founded in 1991 in Pantin, Île-de-France, specializing in professional training and integration services for people with disabilities. The organization is the training arm of the ARERAM federation (established 1952) and operates with approximately 11–12 staff including psychologists, occupational therapists, professional integration counselors, and certified trainers. It serves three primary segments: workers in ESAT and EA establishments, people with disabilities seeking employment, and large institutional clients including AP-HP and the Ville de Paris.

The organization's product portfolio comprises a 34-program ESAT/EA training catalog covering digital skills, professional competencies, health, and citizenship, supplemented by three France Compétences-registered certifications (RS 6501, RS 6502, RS 7058) that are CPF-funding eligible and tailored to disabled learners. Three service lines—Bilan d'orientation et de compétences (for AP-HP), Santé/Handicap et Insertion (for local insertion agencies in Seine-Saint-Denis), and Emploi accompagné (supported employment for Ville de Paris employees)—deliver personalized career and workplace adaptation support. Underlying technology is minimal: the organization uses the Onéduc.fr learning platform and government marketplaces (MonCompteFormation, France Compétences) but does not operate proprietary technology infrastructure.

The revenue model is professional services. Training is priced at 120–130 EUR/hour for group sessions; certifications at 1,600–1,800 EUR via CPF; and the carnet de parcours formation at 2,520 EUR. Revenue is generated through multi-year institutional contracts (AP-HP, Ville de Paris), direct ESAT/EA client engagements, and individual CPF enrollments. Geographic focus is exclusively the Île-de-France region. The organization holds Qualiopi certification and operates on a sales-led GTM motion anchored in direct relationships with disability employment networks, AGEFIPH, and MDPH-affiliated partners.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• AFPA: France's largest adult vocational training organization with a broad portfolio of programs including disability-targeted offerings. Overlaps with ARERAM on Qualiopi-certified vocational training and CPF-eligible certifications, but covers many occupations beyond disability.
• APF France Handicap: Large French disability NGO providing advocacy, professional-integration services, and training programs for disabled adults. Comparable in serving the same target population, but with a much broader mandate including advocacy and residential services.
• UNAPEI: French federation of associations managing medico-social establishments for people with intellectual disabilities, many of which run training and professional-integration activities. Touches the same ESAT/EA ecosystem that ARERAM Relais Formation serves.

Direct peers

• LADAPT: Major French non-profit federation operating training establishments and supported-employment services specifically for people with disabilities. Directly comparable in mission, certification offerings, and target beneficiaries, but at a much larger national scale.
• CAP Emploi: France's national network of specialized employment agencies supporting people with disabilities into work. It is the closest public-funded counterpart to ARERAM Relais Formation, sharing the same professional-integration mission and target population (disabled workers, ESAT/EA clients).

Emerging players

• Hanploi: Specialized French job platform and recruitment services company focused on employment of people with disabilities. Comparable through the shared mission of disability-to-employment integration, but operates as a digital marketplace rather than a training provider.
