Missions Locales Grand Lyon Métropole et Rhône

What Missions Locales Grand Lyon Métropole et Rhône does

AMILAURA (Association Régionale des Missions Locales Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) is a French non-profit association under Loi 1901 that coordinates a regional network of 61 Missions Locales across 12 departments, headquartered at 4 Rue Saint-Sidoine in Lyon. Founded in 1983 and led by President Wendy Lafaye, the organization delivers free, universal accompaniment to young people aged 16-25 who are not in school, employment, or training (NEET), addressing employment, training, housing, health, mobility, and citizenship barriers. In 2023, the network served 110,900 young people across Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, conducted 934,000 interviews, supported 67,326 entries into employment, and facilitated 105,000 entries into training, while also serving 15,250 regional employers.

The service portfolio is structured around statutory programs (PACEA — up to 24 months, CEJ — up to €550/month allowance, PAO, PMSMP immersions, alternance contracts) and core service pillars (Emploi, Formation, Réalisation de projets, Mobilité, Logement, Santé, Expérience à l'étranger). All end-user services are free of charge, including employer-facing services such as recruitment support, PMSMP hosting, and apprenticeship facilitation. Technology infrastructure is minimal and non-proprietary — a WordPress-based public website with Google Analytics, Maps, and reCAPTCHA — with delivery relying on dense physical presence (61 local offices), digital engagement channels (Twitch LAB'ON-ID, Instagram, TikTok), and an in-house Pôle Média Régional launched in 2026.

AMILAURA is financed through public institutional funding from La Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the French State (l'État/DREETS), European Union programs (notably Erasmus+), and the apprenticeship tax (taxe d'apprentissage). It holds the national Mission Locales label granted by the Commission nationale de labellisation in December 2024 and operates within the Service Public de l'Emploi alongside France Travail. Strategic partnerships — including a 2024 charter with GEIQ Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (38 partner employer-groupings) and the 2023 Mission Jeunes regional accord with AKTO, Prism'emploi, FPETT, and FASTT — anchor the network's role as the regional public intermediary between youth and the labor market.

• Apprentis d'Auteuil: Catholic foundation operating youth reception, education, training, and insertion programs across France for vulnerable youth. It overlaps with AMILAURA on the youth insertion mission but combines residential care with employment support.

• Cap Emploi: Specialized employment service for people with disabilities, operating as part of the Service Public de l'Emploi alongside Mission Locales. Cap Emploi shares the public employment mission but targets disabled workers, creating a complementary rather than overlapping offering.
• Maisons de l'Emploi: Local employment houses coordinating public employment actors at the territorial level. They share Mission Locale's mandate to coordinate employment services across local stakeholders and serve job seekers including youth.
• GEIQ Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: Regional federation of 38 Groupements d'Employeurs pour l'Insertion et la Qualification (employer groups for insertion and qualification).
