TREMPLIN Handicap

What TREMPLIN Handicap does

TREMPLIN Handicap is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 1993 by Maryvonne Lyazid, headquartered in the Paris region, whose mission is to support students with disabilities through academic and professional integration. It matches students to a network of more than 140 employer partners and over 60 educational institutions, providing free, individualized follow-up from secondary education through first employment. The association has supported more than 725 young people and recorded over 1,200 welcome/integration placements, positioning itself as a specialist intermediary between corporate disability policy and student beneficiaries.

Its core "products" are human-delivered programs rather than technology platforms: Université Tremplin (one-to-one coaching and job-readiness support for post-secondary students), TousHanscène (a national video challenge for student clubs, first held in 2012), Tifo Tour (an inter-school sports event, first held in 2013), Passerelle Handicap (a 2014 mobility device extending the pathway to business-school graduates), Han'Route Vers Mon Avenir (a middle-school outreach program with EDF, L'Oréal, and À Compétence Égale), and Boost'heure (a recent thematic event series). Operational infrastructure is conventional: a handicap-tremplin.com website, Microsoft Forms for intake, and a member login portal; no proprietary technology stack is described.

The business model is association-style: enterprise membership fees and corporate sponsorships (anchored by AG2R La Mondiale as "Partenaire Fondateur" and L'ADAPT as Flagship/National Partner), supplemented by institutional grants from bodies such as AGEFIPH, FIPHFP, the Île-de-France region, and the City of Paris. Services are delivered free to students, making the enterprise funder side the revenue engine. The association leverages students from partner schools (ESSEC, CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Est Créteil) as operational volunteers, keeping variable costs low and embedding the brand within target educational institutions. Not disclosed: total revenue, headcount, or financial statements.

Direct peers

• L'ADAPT: France's leading disability employment association and TREMPLIN's flagship national partner. Operates a parallel mission of vocational guidance, training, and job placement for people with disabilities, with overlapping candidate pools and employer networks.
• CAP Emplois: Specialized French employment network connecting people with disabilities to employers. Documented as a TREMPLIN resource partner with overlapping employer-matching activities and similar target beneficiary population.
• FEDEEH: Federation of students with disabilities in France and a documented TREMPLIN key partner. Operates a student-portal and advocacy role that overlaps with TREMPLIN's student accompaniment and university relay functions.
• ARPEJEH: French association supporting students with disabilities through their educational journey and into employment, with a similar relay role between schools and companies. Directly comparable in target population, geographic focus, and bridge-function model.
• Association Passerelle: Documented TREMPLIN partner that promotes admission and recruitment of students with disabilities into French business schools and higher education. Highly comparable mission and target population with formalized collaboration since 2014.

Broad incumbents

• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): France's national public employment agency, which handles disability employment registration and employer intermediation at scale. A structural incumbent whose policy choices and disability-specific services shape the addressable market for TREMPLIN.
• Agefiph: French quasi-public body managing the fund for professional inclusion of people with disabilities. A TREMPLIN resource partner that finances employer hiring initiatives and could partially absorb the matchmaking function via direct employer subsidies.
• APF France handicap: Large French disability NGO with a much broader mandate (advocacy, services, accessibility) beyond employment. Operates employment-related programs that intersect with TREMPLIN's candidate pool but is not specialized in student-to-employment transition.

Emerging players

• Lime Connect: International nonprofit connecting students and professionals with disabilities to employer partners (including Fortune 500 brands). Highly comparable bridge model between education and employment but focused on US/Canada/global markets rather than France.
• Handirect: French media and events platform focused on disability employment and inclusion. Operates alongside TREMPLIN with complementary — but not directly competitive — content, employer branding, and job-board services for the same candidate pool.
