Carrefour jeunesse-emploi de Laval

What Carrefour jeunesse-emploi de Laval does

Carrefour jeunesse-emploi de Laval (CJE Laval) is a Quebec-registered non-profit organization founded in 1997 and headquartered at 500 Boulevard Saint-Martin Ouest in Laval, Canada. Operating with approximately 32 employees, it delivers free employment, education, and integration services to young adults aged 15-35 and to immigrants of all ages residing in the Laval region. The organization functions as part of Quebec's provincial Carrefour jeunesse-emploi network and is financed primarily through government grants, with no fees charged to clients.

CJE Laval's service offering is structured into three interconnected streams: school and education support (including the alternative learning environment L'École au Carrefour, school persistence programs, and career orientation); employment and integration services (including Visa Destination Emploi paid internships, TAPAJ same-day paid work, JEEP pre-employment exploration, job search assistance, and immigrant integration programs PASI and ICI Jeunesse); and personal development and community engagement (including Mes finances mes choix financial literacy, Plateaux de travail hands-on skills workshops in sewing and digital fabrication, Jeunes Volontaires, and Expérience ÉVO). The organization distributes services through its headquarters, school-based workshops across Laval, community events, a public calendar, and social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X.

CJE Laval operates a community-led go-to-market model with no proprietary technology platform; its competitive advantage rests on its government-mandated role, an extensive local partnership network (Collège Montmorency, Commission scolaire de Laval, Centre de la protection de l'enfance et de la jeunesse, Desjardins, Ville de Laval, and multiple referral organizations), and a 28-year operating history in the region. Revenue is derived from government grants and project-based partner contributions, and the organization maintains a small donation channel via PayPal.

Direct peers

• PROMIS (Promotion – Intégration – Société nouvelle): Montreal-based immigrant-serving non-profit offering employment assistance, French courses, and settlement support to newcomers — a direct parallel to CJE Laval's PASI and ICI Jeunesse newcomer integration services.
• La Maisonnée: Montreal-based non-profit providing settlement, French-language, and labor-market integration services to immigrants — directly comparable to CJE Laval's PASI and ICI Jeunesse offerings for newcomers in the broader Montreal region.
• Carrefour jeunesse-emploi de Montréal: Direct sister organization in the Quebec Carrefour jeunesse-emploi network, delivering the same mandated youth employment, education, and integration services to a similar 15-35 demographic in the Greater Montreal area. Highly comparable in mission, funding model, and service catalog.
• YES (Youth Employment Services): Canadian non-profit delivering employment counseling, career exploration, and skills training to youth. Comparable in mission and free-service delivery model, though operating primarily in Ontario and with somewhat older youth focus.
• Carrefour jeunesse-emploi de Québec: Another mandated CJE in the same provincial network, providing youth employment assistance, school persistence programs, and entrepreneurship support to 15-35 year-olds in Quebec City. Directly comparable operating model and funding structure.

Emerging players

• Futurpreneur: National non-profit providing financing, mentorship, and business-plan support to young entrepreneurs aged 18-39 — a partial overlap with CJE Laval's entrepreneurship programming and a referral partner.

Broad incumbents

• Boys and Girls Club of Canada: National youth services organization with local clubs delivering after-school programs, employability training, and at-risk youth support. Comparable to CJE Laval's vulnerable-youth programs (JEEP, TAPAJ, ACTE) but with a broader mandate and footprint.
• YMCA du Québec: Broader incumbent community-services organization operating across Quebec with youth employment, education, immigration, and social integration programs. Overlaps with CJE Laval on youth and newcomer services but as part of a wider portfolio.

Others

• Desjardins: Quebec-based cooperative financial group and partner of CJE Laval, providing the accredited 'Mes finances, mes choix' financial literacy curriculum. Comparable in the financial education content area but as a financial institution rather than a youth employment provider.
• Commission scolaire de Laval: Laval school board and a core partner of CJE Laval for school persistence, employment workshops, and at-risk youth programs. Comparable in target audience and Laval geography, though it operates in formal education rather than community employment services.
