Maison de l'Emploi et des Métiers en Pays d'Artois

What Maison de l'Emploi et des Métiers en Pays d'Artois does

Maison de l'Emploi et des Métiers en Pays d'Artois (MEM) is a French non-profit association governed by the Loi 1901, headquartered in Arras, Pas-de-Calais, that delivers publicly funded employment, training, and professional insertion services across the Pays d'Artois territory. It was formed on July 1, 2021 through the legal merger of Artois Emploi Entreprise and Mission Locale en Pays d'Artois, which had already operated under unified governance since 2017. The organization is presided over by Nathalie GHEERBRANT and directed by Daniel BILLET, with 61 employees operating across 13 service locations (antennes and Maisons de Services) covering municipalities including Achicourt, Avesnes-le-Comte, Bapaume, Croisilles, Marquion, Pas-en-Artois, Saint-Nicolas-lez-Arras, Tincques, and Vitry-en-Artois.

MEM's service portfolio comprises the Cité des Métiers du Pays d'Artois (a state-labeled information and advice space co-animated with the Conseil Régional des Hauts-de-France since April 20, 2022), the Contrat d'Engagement Jeune (CEJ), COACH EMPLOI, COACH JEUNESSE, Plateforme RSA, Clauses sociales d'insertion, the PLIE (Plan Local pour l'Insertion et l'Emploi), and an online job board at emploi.mem-artois.fr. All end-user services are delivered free of charge, anonymously, and on a walk-in basis where applicable. There is no proprietary technology stack; operations rely on conventional case-management and online portal infrastructure.

MEM has no commercial revenue. Operating funds derive entirely from public subsidies and grants, principally the European Social Fund+ (FSE+) under the 2021-2027 national program, the Conseil Régional des Hauts-de-France, the Département du Pas-de-Calais, and four intercommunalités (Communauté Urbaine d'Arras, Sud Artois, Campagnes de l'Artois, Osartis-Marquion). The association also operates the Plateforme Proch'Emploi for businesses by delegation of the regional council, and participates in social clause programs tied to the Canal Seine Nord Europe infrastructure project.
