Cap Métiers Nouvelle-Aquitaine

What Cap Métiers Nouvelle-Aquitaine does

Cap Métiers Nouvelle-Aquitaine is a publicly funded non-profit association (association loi du 1er juillet 1901, SIREN 839 527 660) operating as the regional agency — designated OREF (Observatoire Régional de l'Emploi et de la Formation) — for orientation, training, and employment in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. It serves a broad user base including students, job seekers, career changers, teachers, orientation/training/employment professionals, employers, and local authorities (CCAS, town halls). The organization provides free services to the general public via a hotline (AlloCMonInfo 0800 940 166), public-facing websites (cap-metiers.fr and pro.cap-metiers.fr), mobile Cap Métiers Tours, and physical sites in Pessac (HQ), La Rochelle, Limoges, and Poitiers.

The technology portfolio centers on a web-based platform with multiple proprietary digital tools: Rafael/RafaelPro (training database and candidate management), CMonAlternance (apprenticeship matching), CMaFormation (training search), ViteMonStage (school internships), CMonMétier/CMonTerritoire (employment data visualization), SI-TERR (territorial intelligence system), Octopilot (occupational analytics), ParcoursPro (professional development program), and CapLibris (digital library). The Observatoire Régional Emploi-Formation produces regional studies, syntheses, and data visualizations on employment, training, and trades. Distribution is hybrid: digital self-serve portals, events (Cap Métiers Tours — 14 in 2026, 17 thematic in H1 2026), the Journées Vincent Merle annual conference, the Atout Compétences newsletter, podcasts (Au micro de Cap Métiers), and a partner-network distribution model via CCAS and mission locales.

The business model is primarily public funding: Cap Métiers is financed by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region under its OREF mandate, with potential supplementary support from the French State and European funds. All end-user services are free, generating no direct commercial revenue. Customer concentration is therefore structurally high on the funding side (one primary public counterparty), while user-side reach is broad and diversified across individuals and institutions. Leadership is held by Directrice Générale Corinne Lafitte and Président Pierre-Yves Duwoye, with a small disclosed management team including Nathalie Lamuela (professional services director), Olivier Maurice (communications director), Stefania Parello (operations), and François Marques (DPO). The organization is operationally independent with no parent company or external equity ownership.
