Comité Européen de Coordination

The purpose of the CEC is to develop a European partnership and projects between several organizations having for mission in particular at the regional level the social and professional integration of public in difficulty in the labour market giving them a series of skills (technical, behavioural…), trainings, work experiences matching with the needs of the enterprises and the labour market.
CEC is gathering 22 members representing around 850 associations (vocational schools, training centres, social cooperatives, social enterprises...) in 14 Member States of the EU. CEC has more than 20 years of experience in the management, coordination and dissemination of European projects (Progress, LLP, Daphne) and is a reference network for the establishment of partnership for the realization of promotion initiatives at a European level for vocational training and integration of young and adults low-skilled people.

The CEC through its members develop initiatives designed to support youth in difficulty throughout an integration pathway that can be summarized into 4 phases: rehabilitation, training, integration, accompaniment towards and into the labour market.
For more than 20 years the CEC participates and coordinates European projects (Equal, Progress, Erasmus+, DAPHNE, ESF...), proposes a permanent reflection on the European dimension of the socio-professional integration of public in difficulty, and to develop between the partners exchange of experience, staff, trainers and trainees.
To better meet the needs of the market and necessary skills regarding employment for groups in difficulty, the CEC works in logic of partnership multiplying contacts with the national and European social partners and the private sector.
As a European network, the CEC proposes to support the dissemination of the project results via multiple channels (newsletters, website, European seminars involving the European institutions and European social partners, contacts via its members with public authorities and policy makers from more or less 30 regions in Europe).
