Centrum Integracji Społecznej

What Centrum Integracji Społecznej does

Centrum Integracji Społecznej w Skarżysku-Kamiennej (CIS) is a municipal organizational unit of Gmina Skarżysko-Kamienna in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland, established in 2008. It operates as a social employment entity under Polish law, providing social and professional reintegration services to unemployed residents at risk of social exclusion. Its core program is the Individual Social Employment Program (IPZS), a 6-18 month comprehensive track combining vocational training in four workshop areas (gastronomy, construction/maintenance, gardening, tailoring) with psychological support, career counseling, addiction therapy, and legal advice. Participants receive integration benefits, daily meals, work clothing, and health insurance.

Beyond social reintegration, CIS manages a portfolio of municipal public services: the Communal Cemetery at ul. Langiewicza 17 (burial services, grave maintenance, fee collection with a new price list effective June 1, 2026), the 'Pod Cisem' paid guarded parking lot (acquired April 2014), announcement boards and advertising pillars citywide (acquired January 2014), and the Pracownia Gastronomiczna 'Pod Cisem' catering workshop. It also operates a carnival costume rental service as a minor revenue-generating activity.

CIS is funded primarily through the Gmina Skarżysko-Kamienna municipal budget, supplemented by European Social Fund and Regional Operational Programme grants (notably RPO WŚ 2014-2020). Fee-generating activities (cemetery, parking, catering, public procurement contracts for waste collection) provide marginal commercial revenue. The entity operates from two locations: the main administrative office at ul. Bolesława Prusa 3a and the cemetery/catering facility at ul. Langiewicza 17. It is directed by Edyta Górlicka with approximately 82 staff including vocational instructors, a psychologist, career counselor, addiction therapist, legal advisor, IT specialist, and BHP inspector.

Direct peers

• Spółdzielnia Socjalna PROM (Skarżysko-Kamienna): A social cooperative already partnered with CIS and operating in the same local social economy ecosystem. Provides employment for socially excluded individuals through a cooperative business model, representing an alternative organizational structure for the same population CIS serves.
• Centrum Integracji Społecznej w Częstochowie: A CIS operating in Częstochowa offering the same Individual Social Employment Program (IPZS) with workshop-based vocational reintegration under the same Polish legal framework. Comparable in mission, funding model (municipal budget plus EU projects), and participant cohort structure.
• Centrum Integracji Społecznej w Kielcach: Another Centrum Integracji Społecznej operating in the same Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship under the same Social Employment Act framework. Provides identical social reintegration and vocational training services to a different municipal population, making it the closest functional and structural peer.

Others

• Grafton Recruitment Poland: International employment agency with Polish operations providing recruitment, staffing, and HR services. Represents a commercial analog for CIS's employer-matching and job placement function, operating at greater scale but in the mainstream labor market rather than targeting socially excluded individuals.
• Fundacja Centrum Edukacji Obywatelskiej (CEO): Large Polish education foundation delivering training programs including vocational and social education. While focused more on civic and educational content than reintegration specifically, it operates in the same training-for-adult-populations space using EU and public funding.
• Towarzystwo Inicjatyw Twórczych "ę": Polish foundation supporting social economy enterprises and NGO development. Operates in adjacent social economy ecosystem to CIS, providing capacity building and partnership support for entities like social cooperatives and integration centers.

Broad incumbents

• Work Service S.A. One of Poland's largest employment agencies providing staffing and job placement services. Represents a broader commercial analog to CIS's job placement function, but operating at national scale and serving the general unemployed population rather than those with greatest barriers.
• Polski Czerwony Krzyż (Polish Red Cross): National social assistance organization delivering humanitarian aid, refugee support, and social integration services across Poland. Operates at much greater scale than CIS but shares the mission of helping vulnerable populations access basic needs and reintegration pathways.
• Adecco Poland: Global staffing leader operating in Poland with broad workforce placement and vocational training services. Comparable to CIS's employment placement function but addressing mainstream labor market participants rather than those facing social exclusion barriers.
• Caritas Polska: The largest Catholic charity in Poland providing social assistance, reintegration support, and vocational training across multiple regions. While much larger and faith-based, Caritas addresses overlapping populations (people at risk of social exclusion) with similar services including social reintegration, counseling, and employment support.
