Association OETH

What Association OETH does

Association OETH (Objectif emploi des travailleurs handicapés), founded in 1991 and headquartered in France, is a non-profit association (loi 1901) that advises and supports employers in the French sanitary, social, and medico-social associative sector with the recruitment, integration, and retention of disabled workers. Its mandate centers on helping 4,358 member companies and 17,500 establishments comply with the 6% BOETH legal obligation imposed by the 1987 French disability employment law. The service portfolio spans DOETH administrative declarations, individual situation advisory, training of disability référents, sector-specific devices (OASISS Handicap for recruitment, Objectif Parcours Pro for retention, Héo Santé for health-disability exchange), and an annual innovation call-for-projects run jointly with the 21 social innovation accelerator.

The underlying technology is functional rather than sophisticated: a member extranet for declarations and aid applications, an online training platform for référent handicap certification, a webinar and resource center, and pilot web applications (Wesireport, Ergo Up) developed through the innovation program. Distribution is delivered through regional field teams (chargés de projets et développement territorial) and the self-serve extranet, supported by content marketing, email newsletters, sector events, and partnerships with bodies such as Cap Emploi, OPCO Santé, IRTS, and MDPH.

Revenue is generated primarily through mandatory employer contributions collected under the sector's disability branch agreement, supplemented by a 3-year conventionnement with Agefiph effective January 2026 that redirects financial aid instruction to Agefiph's national Métodia platform while OETH retains its advisory and sector-specific mandate. Services to member employers are provided free of charge at point of use; 5,150 financial aids were disbursed between 2020 and 2022 prior to the transition.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• FIPHFP: FIPHFP is the public-sector counterpart to Agefiph, administering disability-employment obligations for French public employers. Comparable as a parallel contribution-collecting and aid-administering body, demonstrating the broader institutional model OETH operates within.
• Agefiph: Agefiph is France's national fund for the professional insertion of people with disabilities, managing the OETH conventionnement from 2026. It is the most comparable organization as it administers disability-employment contributions and aids nationally, with OETH now operating as its sectoral arm for the SSMS vertical.
• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): France Travail is France's national employment agency. Comparable as a broad employment-services institution that overlaps with OETH's mission of helping disabled jobseekers find employment, though it serves all jobseekers rather than focusing on the SSMS sector.

Direct peers

• Nexem: Nexem is the employer federation for non-profit health, social, and medico-social establishments in France. It is a strategic partner of OETH and co-founder of the 21 accelerator, but also a peer in shaping sector-level policy and services for the same employer base.
• FEHAP: FEHAP is the federation of French private non-profit health, social, and medico-social establishments. Comparable as a sectoral federation serving the same SSMS employer base that OETH supports, with overlapping policy and advocacy functions.
• CFEA (Centre pour la Formation et l'Emploi Accompagné): CFEA provides supported employment services (emploi accompagné) in France, helping disabled workers secure and sustain employment. Comparable as a delivery partner for inclusive employment and a peer in the same operational space.
• LADAPT: LADAPT is a French non-profit operating medical-social establishments and vocational rehabilitation services for people with disabilities. Comparable as a peer offering employment support, training, and adapted workplace solutions, particularly in the health/social sector.
• Cap Emploi: Cap Emploi is a national network of 98 specialized agencies supporting disabled workers' placement and retention. It is an OETH partner but also a peer delivering job placement, workplace adaptation, and retention services to disabled workers across France.

Emerging players

• UNEA (Union Nationale des Entreprises Adaptées): UNEA represents France's adapted enterprises (entreprises adaptées) that employ a high proportion of disabled workers. Comparable as a sectoral ecosystem player in French disability employment, focused on the supply-side of inclusive employment rather than OETH's employer-support niche.
• ARPEJEH: ARPEJEH connects young disabled students with companies for mentoring and professional discovery. It overlaps with OETH's awareness/recruitment mission at the pre-employment stage, particularly for entry into social-sector careers via OASISS-type pipelines.
