What Mission Emploi Lys Tourcoing : Maison de l'Emploi, PLIE, Mission Locale does

La MELT (Mission Emploi Lys-Tourcoing) is a French association d'intérêt général headquartered at 4 rue de Turenne, Tourcoing (Hauts-de-France), that coordinates three structurally integrated public-employment functions within a single nonprofit vehicle covering 12 communes of the Vallée de la Lys and approximately 198,660 inhabitants. Its three arms are: (1) the Mission Locale, delivering personalized accompaniment to youth aged 16–25 (NEET populations, Jeunes Diplômés Bac+3+, Obligation de Formation des Mineurs, Service Civique); (2) the PLIE (Plan Local pour l'Insertion et l'Emploi), providing reinforced, individualized pathways to adults aged 26+ furthest from employment, including RSA beneficiaries and people with disabilities; and (3) the Maison de l'Emploi, acting as the bridge between local employers and job seekers, with Services aux Entreprises, Trajectoires Pro, job postings, and the taxe d'apprentissage.

Its service portfolio spans core accompaniment programs (Melting Pot, Open Badges, job-search support, vocational training, Territoire Zéro Chômeurs) plus transversal support functions covering health, disability, mobility (driving-license prep), housing, justice, and entrepreneurship (Créer son entreprise and the Espace Métropolitain de l'Entrepreneuriat). The organization employs 87 staff and reports approximately 5,000 people accompanied, 954 training actions, and a 72% positive-outcome rate annually. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery rests on human counselors, a Tourcoing headquarters, the mobile Job Truck / Équipe Mobile unit, event-based job datings, and referrals coordinated through the French Public Employment Service.

MELT operates as a managed-services non-profit financed by a plural body of public funders — the French State (CEJ and national devices), the European Social Fund (FSE), the Région Hauts-de-France (training, apprenticeship, CLAP), the Département du Nord (RSA), the Métropole Européenne de Lille (MEL — mobility, housing, health, social clauses, QPV programs), France Travail, UNML, ARS (health), Action Logement (housing), and the 12 member municipalities (Bondues, Bousbecque, Comines, Deûlémont, Halluin, Linselles, Mouvaux, Neuville-en-Ferrain, Roncq, Tourcoing, Warneton, Wervicq-Sud). All services are free to beneficiaries; there is no B2B pricing model, no equity, no venture capital, and no parent company. Governance and operational scope are explicitly embedded in French public-employment-service law and UNML framework conventions.

Core offering

Mission Emploi Lys Tourcoing (MELT) is a public-interest association that consolidates three employment-support structures — Mission Locale, PLIE (Plan Local pour l'Insertion et l'Emploi) and Maison de l'Emploi — to provide free employment accompaniment, vocational guidance, training referrals, and recruitment services across the 12 communes of the Vallée de la Lys (Tourcoing area). It supports approximately 5,000 beneficiaries per year through 87 staff, serving both individual job seekers (youth aged 16-25, adults 26+) and local businesses seeking talent, apprenticeship tax partners, or social-clause contractors.

Product overview

La MELT (Maison de l'Emploi Lys Tourcoing) operates as a multi-service public employment association coordinating three main sub-brands: Mission Locale (youth support for ages 16-25), PLIE (reinforced employment support for those 26+), and Maison de l'Emploi (business-employer bridge). The organization offers an integrated ecosystem of programs including Melting Pot (personalized accompaniment), Open Badges (digital credentialing), job search support, vocational training, mobility services, health and housing support, and entrepreneurship assistance. The service portfolio spans from mobile outreach (Job Truck) to specialized support for young graduates (Bac+3+), people with disabilities, justice-involved individuals, and minors under training obligation. The architecture combines the three core sub-brands as primary service lines, supported by cross-cutting programs for transversal needs (mobility, health, housing, civic engagement).

• Maison de l'Emploi de Lille: Direct peer — another Maison de l'Emploi structuring the Lille metropolitan area with the same national label and mandate to coordinate local employment actors, employers, and job seekers for the MEL territory.
• PLIE de Roubaix: Direct peer — another Plan Local pour l'Insertion et l'Emploi serving the same metropolitan area, with the same PLIE mandate for adults 26+ furthest from employment, and competing for the same departmental and MEL funding.
