On Thursday, October 24, many elected officials and job search professionals met in Grandvilliers to find solutions to reduce unemployment.
According to him, there is 15% unemployment in Grandvilliers. Twice more than the national average. So Mayor Frédéric Douchet brought together as many entities as possible to try to resolve this problem.
Thus, Thursday October 24, the prefecture, municipal elected officials, Nooe Emploi, the IRFA training institute, the GEA group representing Lin 2000, the Region, the CCPV, the city of trades, the Department, the social center, France travail, and others met to discuss the subject.
“There are two types of unemployed. Those who don't seek and live taking advantage of the system. And those who lose hope in the job search. It is for the latter that we must mobilize.”

Elected officials demand a general high school
This is done by first questioning what is holding back the inhabitants of the territory, primarily training. Because young Grandvillois, if they cannot or do not want to attend a boarding school in Beauvais, have no other choice but to turn to the vocational high school or the MFR.
This is why elected officials are calling for the construction of a general high school.
“Picardie Verte is increasingly poorly served by transport. There is the train but the times do not correspond with the start and end of classes. So today, which parent is going to leave their child to their own devices in Beauvais?“
underlined the deputy mayor Hélène Pichard
Words echoed by Thierry Deodato, director of the social center: “People are unable to plan geographically or for their future. This leads to qualification concerns in our territory.” To support this, there are, according to the CFA, very few apprenticeship contracts north of Marseille-en-Beauvaisis.
However, elected officials fear seeing the general second year class open at the vocational high school close due to a lack of students. This year there are only eleven registered.
Companies must also “play the game” for employment
During the meeting, several speakers highlighted the fact that local businesses also have a key role to play in access and return to employment for applicants.
If the area does indeed suffer from the lack of a general high school and transport, it nevertheless has many companies recruiting. But the latter do not necessarily play the game according to everyone.
“I found 57 job offers in Grandvilliers, but only ten registered with France Travail, underlined one of the managers of France Travail in Oise. Companies therefore deprive themselves of our network while they have difficulty recruiting. We are also at the service of employers but they must trust us. They must not think that they will not find a courageous worker at France Travail.”
According to Frédéric Douchet, himself a former business manager:
“It is true that business leaders regularly prefer to go through temporary employment agencies to recruit because even if it is a little more expensive, at least they are not tied to the worker if it goes badly..”

Immersion days to build a bond of trust
To establish links between the job seeker and the employer, there are facilitated immersion days, which cost nothing and can be beneficial for everyone. But again this in no way guarantees employment.
At Lin 2000, for example, the GEA group explains that on average only half of the people who say they are interested ultimately participate in the immersion, and that a quarter are hired as seasonal agricultural workers.
On the other hand, the Cité des Métiers regrets that certain employers attract young people by offering permanent contracts which are in fact disguised fixed-term contracts.
“After two months they regularly break the contract. This creates turnover, young people understand this and no longer apply.”
The City of Trades
“Then it's complicated behind to straighten out your image for the employeradds France Travail. They must also agree to take on beginners to improve their skills..”
However, to sustain jobs and re-mobilize people who have failed, there are the Hauts-de-France Region's “Commit to employment” schemes, or the Noé+ integration projects.
“This can restore a taste for work even if the person does not start in the field for which they are looking for a job.”

Integration clauses in public contracts
Finally, the Cité des Métiers emphasizes that communities can also support local job seekers, by inserting social integration clauses into their projects. These make it possible, when developing a public contract, to reserve part of the hours generated for an integration action. And therefore to make the locals work.
“It costs nothing, puts people who live where the work is being done to work, and can even allow a municipality, for example, to claim an additional subsidy from the Department..”
insists the Cité des Métiers
It is therefore up to local authorities and local businesses to also make efforts to offer work to the inhabitants of their territories.
“Among adults we also encounter difficulties in working with local businesses.“, indicated the representative of the integration organization SJT, which today welcomes fourteen people in Grandvilliers.
“Companies don't even take unpaid internships when there is nothing to pay. They should play the game too.”

Because depending on the plans of its job seekers, SJT can sometimes find itself blocked. “Companies always say they either have no time or no work to give.”
Finally, SJT regrets that local elected officials and businesses are not more invested. There were only five of them who responded to his invitation during his open days.
Soon a club of entrepreneurs in Picardie Verte
The mayor of Grandvilliers, Frédéric Douchet, himself a former business manager of the Artemis design office, announced the upcoming creation of a club of entrepreneurs in the Picardie Verte region. Territory which would have no less than 700 companies.
“It will be up to town halls to invite business leaders to meetings, forums, job dating, etc.“, specified Frédéric Douchet.
A first meeting of business leaders must take place at the beginning of 2025. Elected officials will notably share information from this meeting on October 24, 2024.
Finally, the mayor of Grandvilliers confirmed that SETO would relocate its headquarters and that it would look for around a hundred employees in Grandvilliers, including around fifty engineers that it can train internally.
15 hours of activity per week to continue to benefit from RSA
In Oise, 22,000 people would receive active solidarity income (RSA). Among them are 120 Grandvillois.
Among these beneficiaries, two-thirds are single, the majority are women (average age 39; average age 43 for men).
59% of beneficiaries have at least one child, and they stay on average five years in the system.
Since last March, Oise has been one of the departments which can benefit from the experimentation of 15 hours of activities to be carried out each week to continue to benefit from the RSA for job seekers.
However, this is not yet applied across the entire departmental territory. But Grandvilliers is interested.
However, this system does not concern people who suffer from a handicap, an invalidity or a health problem, as well as single parents of children under the age of 12 who do not have a custody solution.
But this must allow them to keep researchers in an active job search process.
