Core offering

arpejeh operates free career integration programs for young people aged 15-30 with disabilities, delivering company visits, professional coaching, mentorship, career discovery forums, and reverse apprenticeship forums that connect beneficiaries with a network of 160+ French employer members across five regions. The association functions as an intermediary between disabled youth seeking employment and employers seeking diverse talent, facilitating structured pathways from education to professional integration.

Product overview

arpejeh is a non-profit association (association loi 1901) that operates as a service-based programs network rather than a traditional software product. The organization offers a portfolio of career integration services for young people with disabilities aged 15-30, including Forums Découverte des métiers (career discovery forums), Visites d'entreprises (company visits), Coaching professionnel (professional coaching), Mentorat (mentorship), and Forums inversés de l'alternance (reverse alternating forums). These services are coordinated through the actions.arpejeh.com online registration platform. arpejeh works with over 160 employer members across France in five regions (Île-de-France, Hauts-de-France, Bretagne, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and Occitanie) to create encounters between young people with disabilities and companies, from first discovery internships to professional integration. Since its creation in 2008, the association has supported more than 35,000 young beneficiaries.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Disability:IN: US-based non-profit driving disability inclusion in business through employer programming, talent pipelines, and benchmarking. A thematically direct peer operating in a different geography with a comparable mission.

Direct peers

• Agefiph: French association managing the fund collected from employers not meeting the OETH disability employment quota. Functions as both a partner (arpejeh references Agefiph data) and a competitor in disability-to-employment services, with materially larger financial resources.
• Tremplin Handicap: French student-focused disability recruitment event and platform. Comparable as a near-direct competitor in connecting disabled students with employers through forums and recruitment events.
• Handirect: French media and services company focused on disability employment and inclusion in the workplace. Comparable as a sector-specialist peer offering employer-facing disability inclusion content, events, and recruitment services.
• LADAPT: French non-profit association dedicated to the social and professional integration of people with disabilities. Directly comparable as a mission-aligned peer offering employment support, training, and adapted workplaces for disabled individuals across France.
• Cap Emploi: National network of French state-funded agencies specialized in employment services for people with disabilities. Directly competes for employer engagement and disabled job-seeker placement, with deeper public funding but less tailored youth programming.
• Fondation Adecco: Foundation of The Adecco Group dedicated to professional integration through apprenticeship and training. Already a partner/collaborator of arpejeh, it is a peer in the youth disability-to-employment mission with the backing of a global staffing group.

Broad incumbents

• APF France Handicap: Major French disability advocacy organization with a much broader remit (rights, services, care). Overlaps with arpejeh on employment-related support for disabled youth but covers wider life domains.
• France Travail: French national employment agency (formerly Pôle Emploi). A broad incumbent with universal scope that nonetheless operates disability-specific services and competes for employer relationships in disability hiring.
• AFPA: France's primary national vocational training organization. Comparable as a broader workforce-development incumbent that also delivers training pathways leading to employment, though not disability-specialized.
