Some people, whether or not they are immigrants, experience difficulties which prevent them from undertaking an active employment search process.

Social Assistance and Support Program – Action (in French: PAAS-Action)

The Social Assistance and Support Program – Action enables the CACI to accompany individuals who are removed from the job market and who receive welfare by supporting their socio-professional progress in order for them to take part in an active employment measure.

We give the participants an opportunity to develop specific skills and to put those skills into practice by accomplishing different tasks and by attending training. They also receive psychosocial support which provides them with a certain emotional stability.

Presentation and Objectives

The program lasts 20 hours per week and includes the possibility of a progressive entry. Participation in the program can take place over several years.

It is essential for participants to socialize with people experiencing similar socio-professional integration issues and to receive support from this engagement.

Program duration: up to professional integration
