“This is an important step in establishing reinforced socio-professional support for people furthest from the labor market and transforming the public employment and integration service,” estimates the prefecture of Maine-et-Loire. The Full Employment Law of December 18, 2023 establishes new governance of the employment network, at the national, regional, departmental and local levels. This renovated governance aims to ensure coordination, cooperation and co-construction between employment and integration stakeholders. These territorial committees for employment at departmental and local level, co-chaired by the State and local authorities, have the mission of coordinating territorial actions in terms of employment, professional training, integration and support for companies, particularly in working on roadmaps where action priorities will be implemented. Their composition provides for a broad representation of local authorities, social partners at departmental level and members of the employment network. The departmental employment committee which was held this Monday is jointly chaired by the prefect of the department and the president of the departmental council. It defines and monitors integration policies for courses adapted to those furthest from the labor market, in particular RSA recipients in conjunction with departmental councils. Local employment committees at district level are chaired jointly by the sub-prefect and representatives of local authorities. They define local employment strategies and translate them operationally in conjunction with all local authorities, particularly municipalities and inter-municipalities. They will meet in the districts of Angers, Cholet, Saumur and Segré before the end of the year.
