Youths supervised by educators, minimum-wage earners, long-term unemployed ... in 2003, the association Bati-Action was created to organize educational projects to enable these publics in serious difficulty to reintegrate both socially and professionally.
Four years later, it manages 34 integration contracts, 6 fixed-term contracts and 2 professionalization contracts. It is active in two areas: the building trades and the upkeep of open spaces.
Yet Bati-Action does not just offer jobs: it dispenses training to its employees in two very different fields. General health awareness draws their attention to the need to take care of themselves, and to the dangers of addictive practices. Besides, training in the new technologies is aimed to shore up their future capacity to find a permanent job. Alongside these two actions, Bati-Action has also set up transborder exchanges with Fondation Federico Ozaman of Zaragoza in Spain, to give its employees an opening to a neighboring country.
