    Vocational guidance for people removed from employment and securing of their career paths

    Recruitment, counseling, training and preparation for reintegration

    Involved in the public market for delegated management of services to correctional facilities since 1987, GEPSA was quick to realise the importance of taking a global approach. Accordingly, the company soon expanded its range of services to include vocational guidance and employment support for detainees.
    The company has proven expertise across the whole chain of support for the sensitive public sector : recruitment, vocational guidance (including towards outsourcing workshops), job training and preparation for re-integration.

    In 2015, in response to the law on mobilizing growth, employment and the promotion of territorial equality, GEPSA founded a subsidiary, GEPSA Institut : this new branch would increase GEPSA’s capacity to meet the demands of regional councils now responsible for providing vocational training in correctional facilities. GEPSA Institut specializes in vocational training and guidance for people removed from employment, preparing them for re-integration into the labour market.

    Vocational guidance and integration into the job market

    Conducted by occupational psychologists and guidance counsellors, this service is set out in modules. The duration of these modules and the frequency of the training sessions are determined by the individual employment integration needs of those attending.

    This service is of a sensitive nature, since those in training are disadvantaged people who often have no previous work experience. This means that the counsellor’s guiding role is vital to the success of the integration pathway, from the moment a person joins the program and throughout the whole process; a process that has to be flexible and modular in order to fit the constraints of detention. It is therefore important to take a comprehensive approach that draws on all available tools (work in manufacturing workshops, training, integration bodies) so as to optimize the effectiveness of each of these tools, in a coherent and structured programme.
