Cibc Ouest Occitanie

What Cibc Ouest Occitanie does

CIBC Ouest Occitanie is a French non-profit association (Association Loi 1901, SIREN 353.792.716) headquartered in Auch and operating nine physical offices across the Gers and Northwest Toulouse regions. Founded in 1990 and previously known as CIBC du Gers et Nord-Ouest Toulousain, the organization delivers career counseling and skills assessment services to both individuals and enterprises. Its core individual offering is the bilan de compétences (skills assessment), offered in three priced tiers — L'Impulsion at €765 (12 hours), Dynamique at €1,200 (18 hours), and Panorama at €1,700 (24 hours) — alongside career orientation assessments, the free Conseil en Évolution Professionnelle (CEP), VAE (Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience) advisory, CLéA certification, Open Badges for soft skills, and workplace well-being support.

The business model is professional-services revenue funded through three channels: direct client payment, OPCO (Opérateurs de Compétences) reimbursement for enterprise training, and CPF (Compte Personnel de Formation) financing via the Mon Compte Formation platform across six activity domains. The enterprise segment mirrors the individual offering with HR consulting, professional mobility and outplacement, corporate VAE/CLéA/Open Badges, and psychosocial risk prevention. Pricing is unit-based with no disclosed subscription, platform, or recurring-revenue mechanics.

The organization is part of the national CIBC network, federated since 2000 and described as the 1st European network for career and skills management consulting. It holds the Qualiopi certification (2024-2027) and OBCQAT certification (2024-2027) — both mandatory for accessing French public training funds — and operates under a multidisciplinary team of occupational psychologists, career guidance professionals, professional integration counselors, and HR consultants. No proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI capability is disclosed; service delivery is conducted face-to-face across the nine offices. Distribution relies on the company's own website, Facebook and LinkedIn profiles, contact forms, and institutional referrals via Region Occitanie, AGEFIPH, France Compétences, Mon Compte Formation, and OPCO partners.
