LES GEIQ D'OCCITANIE

What LES GEIQ D'OCCITANIE does

LES GEIQ D'OCCITANIE is the regional coordination body (Comité Régional des GEIQ d'Occitanie) for a network of GEIQs — Groupements d'Employeurs pour l'Insertion et la Qualification — operating across 11 of the 13 departments of the Occitanie region in southern France. Formed on 1 June 2016 through the merger of the former Midi-Pyrénées and Languedoc-Roussillon regional committees, the organization is structured as a French non-profit association under Loi 1901 (SIRET 51778263700014), headquartered at 8 Rue Théron de Montaugé, 31200 Toulouse. Its core product is the GEIQ framework itself: collective employer consortiums that recruit job seekers distanced from the labor market — including people without qualifications, those with disabilities, refugees, and the long-term unemployed — and place them on 6-to-24-month alternance contracts (apprenticeship or professionalization) co-funded by OPCO training finance bodies, accompanied by personalized socio-professional support aimed at obtaining a state-recognized qualification and durable employment.

The network is organized through 23-24 sector-specific sub-brands including Geiq BTP (construction), Geiq Transports (transport), Geiq Domicile Occitanie (home care), Geiq Industries d'Oc (industry), Geiq Numérique Occitanie/NOOC (digital — the first national GEIQ for digital trades, launched 2020), Geiq Vert (landscaping), Geiq Propreté (cleaning), Geiq Gemlog (logistics), Geiq Oc Agri (agriculture/viticulture), and Geiq Sport, Loisirs, Animation Occitanie (sports/leisure, recognized December 2025). In 2025 the network engaged approximately 614 member companies and managed 1,434 contrats across the territory, with reported outcomes of 78% positive exit to employment (vs 72% national average), 69% durable employment (vs 60% national), 94% exam pass rate, and only 6% early contract terminations. 92% of supported individuals come from priority target groups.

The committee itself runs on a small permanent staff (6 employees at headquarters, with ~76 permanent staff across the wider network) and is funded by public subsidies from DREETS Occitanie (regional directorate of the French Ministry of Labour) and Région Occitanie, supplemented by strategic partnerships with France Travail, Cap Emploi, Mission Locales, OPCO bodies (Uniformation, OPCO 2i, Constructys), industry associations (UIMM Occitanie, UNEP), and the national Fédération Française des GEIQ (FFGeiq). Services to member companies and job seekers are not priced individually; rather, the network operates as a public-funded insertion-by-qualification infrastructure with the regional committee providing animation, network development, labelling support, and representation. Additional channels include the #OSEZLEGEIQ awareness campaign (launched April 2023), the annual Séminaire Régional des GEIQ (5th edition June 2026), Village des GEIQ job fairs (500+ attendees per event), podcast series, and active presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

Scale indicators21 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• AFPA (Agence nationale pour la formation professionnelle des adultes): France's national vocational training agency offering qualification programs across regions, including Occitanie. Broader scope than GEIQ's alternance-only insertion model, but directly comparable on employer-funded training and job-seeker qualification pathways.
• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): National public employment agency that is simultaneously a key referral partner and a broader incumbent in job placement, including for the priority-public cohorts that GEIQ serves. Overlaps with GEIQ on candidate sourcing and outcome reporting but operates at far greater scale and remit.
• Apprentis d'Auteuil: Large national foundation providing insertion-through-training programs to vulnerable youth, including alternance routes and socio-professional support. Comparable to GEIQ on inclusion mission and diploma pathways, but operates as a single foundation rather than an employer consortium.

Others

• Constructys (OPCO de la Construction): Sector-specific OPCO that finances alternance contracts in construction, a core GEIQ sector (BTP 12, 31, 46, 66/11, 81, 82, Gard, Hérault). Functions as an upstream funder rather than a competitor, but materially shapes GEIQ training supply.
• Uniformation: OPCO that finances alternance contracts across social economy, home care and associative sectors - the same domains served by GEIQ Domicile Occitanie, Domicile Grand Sud and Profil 30. Key funder and ecosystem partner rather than competitor, but its funding priorities directly drive GEIQ contract volumes.
• Missions Locales (réseau national): National network of youth guidance organizations that co-organize Village des GEIQ events and refer young candidates to GEIQ alternance contracts. Comparable as upstream feeding channels into insertion pathways rather than as direct competitors.

Emerging players

• Cap Emploi: National specialized employment service for people with disabilities, a primary referral source into GEIQ. Comparable on disability-inclusion employment outcomes (a growing 'Acteur du Handicap' theme at CR GEIQ Occitanie), but focused narrowly on disability rather than multi-barrier insertion.
• EPIDE (Établissement pour l'Insertion dans l'Emploi): State-run youth insertion program operating military-style centers that feed candidates into GEIQ alternance pathways (an active regional partnership in Haute-Garonne). Comparable on the youth-insertion mission for priority public, but EPIDE is a residential program rather than an employer consortium.

Direct peers

• CRGE Occitanie (Centre de Ressources des Groupements d'Employeurs): Occitanie-based resource center for traditional groupements d'employeurs (GEs) that pools staff across member companies. Operates under a 2016 partnership convention with CR GEIQ Occitanie and serves the same regional employer base, with closely aligned but non-inclusion-focused employment models.
• Fédération Française des GEIQ (FFGeiq): The national federation that grants the GEIQ appellation, sets quality standards, and represents all regional GEIQ committees. CR GEIQ Occitanie is a member of FFGeiq and operates under the same inclusion-through-alternance model at regional level, making FFGeiq the closest functional analog and structural counterpart.
