E2C Vaucluse - École de la 2e Chance du Vaucluse

What E2C Vaucluse - École de la 2e Chance du Vaucluse does

E2C Vaucluse (École de la 2e Chance du Vaucluse) is a constituent program of CRFP, a French law 1901 nonprofit, serving mainly unemployed 16-25-year-olds who are disconnected from employment or education. Its core offering is free pre-qualifying training that combines basic-skill remediation, French language, digital and soft skills, individualized career planning, company immersions, and preparation for employment or qualifying training. Each trainee receives an individualized plan and competency portfolio; pathways can combine in-center instruction with up to 50% e-learning, range from six weeks to 18 months, and average six months. E2C Vaucluse operates five sites in Avignon, Orange, Carpentras, Cavaillon, and Apt and accompanied 428 young people in 2025.

Delivery alternates center-based training and workplace immersion, with enrollment conducted through weekly information sessions and individual interviews at each site and supplemented by referrals from France Travail and Mission Locale. The service is free to beneficiaries, who receive age- and situation-dependent monthly remuneration. E2C Vaucluse therefore does not rely on conventional participant-paid tuition: its operations are co-financed by the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Regional Council, the European Union, DIRECCTE/DREETS, France Travail, and the Skills Investment Plan.
