Forbach: signing of an agreement to support the creation of a sustainable job at La Couleur des Jardins

A tripartite agreement enabling the creation of a job has been signed between La Couleur des Jardin, the Forbach urban community and the Grand Est Region. This hiring at the landscaper located in the Eurozone Nord triangle in Forbach is taking place under the Ardan scheme. This solution, offered to SMEs with fewer than 50 employees, is a programme for integrating a jobseeker into the company for a period of six months. This integration, which alternates training periods with fieldwork, is co-financed by the local authorities via the Cnam (Conservatoire national des arts et métiers).

Training in small business management

At La Couleur des Jardin, the Ardan scheme allows Eurydice Risse, a landscaper who was looking for work, to join the team with the aim of managing the nursery and showroom activity. At the same time, the young woman, originally from Metzing, will receive training in small business management. The goal is clearly for her job to become permanent at the company after the six-month period.

While many SMEs struggle to recruit, Ardan makes it possible to connect employers with suitable, qualified profiles who will develop their skills through continuing education. Ardan scheme beneficiaries are, moreover, classified as continuing education trainees during their integration. This is the first Ardan agreement signed by the Forbach urban community, which intends to multiply this kind of operation in favour of employment.
