It was one of the campaign pledges of Xavier Bertrand, then presidential candidate of Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardy. The fight against unemployment in a region, where the frieze 12%, thanks to a device for bringing jobseekers and companies. As announced in October, “proch’emploi” So was born on January 5, 2016. If the goal is laudable, two months after its launch, the device is already showing its limits.
STORIES & gt; & gt; Xavier Bertrand elected head of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardy region facing Le Pen
However, in 2016 barely begun, Xavier Bertrand had seen the big picture: “unemployed people who call the [toll] will be called within 15 days to be offered a job.” The new strongman of the region is to be “effective” to “reduce unemployment.” The promise is strong. And faced with the inexorable rise in unemployment that plagues Hollande, maybe she is just too strong.
To get to the bottom, L’Express has dialed the hotline on 5 January. After 15 minutes of waiting (free, unlike the employment center 3949), one of the 13 councilors answers. From the outset, he warns that the system is “new”, “being finalized”. “I’m not saying that it’s magic,” but the goal is to connect quickly jobseekers and companies -they would be 200 to have turned to the device.
At the other end of the line, full of hope and promise Xavier Bertrand, déchantons a little. But no way to get discouraged. The presentations -we imagined the profile of a young 27-year bac + 2 in the communication sector, unemployment and benefits for 6 months after they chained CSD operator raises the usual questions. “You see the jobs?” “Yes” “You plan to study?” “Maybe” “Thinking of you convert?” “No”. Catches coordinates, the operator said that the region “will contact us.” This will happen three weeks later.
Between the call and interview: a half months waiting
On January 25, driiiiing . “Hello, this is the Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardy region to be contacted you in response to your call to proch’emploi device”. In three weeks, we had a little forgotten, but is, resume. “We’ll fix you an appointment to assess your needs clarification.” Naively, we thought it was done during the first call. We were wrong.
“Are you available February 15th?” “Banco”. We left for three weeks of waiting, far from the original promise of the president, yet remembered in black and white on the site of the former region Picardie: “[...] within a maximum of 15 days, applicants employment are re-contacted for an appointment and proposed solutions “.
on February 15, the House leadership of the use of a small town in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. created structures in 2005 by Jean-Louis Borloo, who work in partnership with the regions, but also employment center, unions, or employers, to fight against unemployment. as explained Le Parisien , 29 . such sites have been mobilized to Beauvais in Dunkirk, to meet the requirement of proximity between January 5 and February 24, 3710 it talks have already taken place, showing a typical profile: that “a 35 year old man, skilled and mobile. “a few things around, the profile of our mystery candidate.
the interview will last 45 minutes, particularly long, facing a Councillor yet very caring and attentive But immediately, after a brief look at our resume, she confesses. “I have no deals to offer you.” Would we therefore come to nothing? The thought crosses our minds, but Councillor quickly takes over and turns into VRP of a qualified device of “new” and “complementary” -especially not concurrent- of employment center, before appearing as an employee “not from the region, but a structure funded by it.” Good.
What it allows us to find a job? Few things at the moment. Especially as the counselor asked again to decline administrative information we provided during the first call: name, age, address, education, latest contract, level of compensation. A maintenance beginning worthy of a visit … At registration the employment center.
“I think you need training”
What follows is a conversation about past experiences and potential gaps. After a good 10 minutes of wandering, the face of our advisor lights: “I think you need training.” The air of nothing, our interlocutor has refocused his speech on a skill of the region (training), while the skill “jobs” for the State. Through its training directory, our interlocutor draws some useful ideas, but never mention their cost. She then took the opportunity to promote the regional file of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais businesses to accurately target potential recruiters. A website maintenance unfortunately these days.
The last five minutes of the interview will be devoted to analysis of the CV. Our interlocutor is surprised by the choice of colors. “It’s black, it’s sad. You had nothing else? Well, repeat it and send it to me by email tonight. I then send to the region and keeps you informed” . That’s it that’s all.
An invitation to a living … learning
Since sending CV retouched, nothing. No one in the region that phone call, however, took the opportunity to put our e-mail address to a mailing list and we assails diverse and varied messages.
Last email received an invitation to the “Learning Lounge and alternation” to Mégacité Amiens, Friday 4 and Saturday, March 5, some 200 kilometers from our place of fictitious domiciliation . A lounge which aims, according to the magazine’s website The Student , to “meet companies and find an internship, study contracts, or vocational training.” An appointment more focused training Emploi.
STORIES & gt; & gt; Republicans: Xavier Wildcard commitments Bertrand
Between the promise, strong, Xavier Bertrand and service, free, actually offered, so there is a hardly measurable shift. the region does not provide the number or the nature of the contracts signed since the beginning of the year explained Le Parisien, that estimates to a mere handful. Meanwhile, in the North, there is still no job. But we have ideas.
