Moussa tells us about integration through employment

Published on 1 April 2025

The Seine-Nord Europe Canal project is expected to create around 3,000 jobs on the construction site. Thanks to the Canal Solidaire scheme and the Economic Activity Integration Clause, many positions are and will be reserved for people facing barriers to employment.

Focus on a successful journey

Join Fannie as she meets one of the beneficiaries of the social inclusion clause in this 5th episode of the series "Employment Integration: They Tell Us About It" . Moussa is a construction worker and shares his experience on the construction site of the very first bridges of the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, the 3 bridges of the R66 between Montmacq and Cambronne-lès-Ribécourt.

It was through his employment agency advisor that Moussa, at 56, was able to secure this position on the Seine-Nord Europe Canal construction site, thanks to the social inclusion clause included in over 50 contracts already awarded by SCSNE. During his two years working on the Canal project , Moussa received CACES certification training , enabling him to operate various types of machinery. This training will undoubtedly be a valuable asset for future assignments!

What is the CIAE?

CIAE is the Clause for Integration through Economic Activity supported by the Canal Solidaire scheme , itself co-piloted by the Société du Canal Seine-Nord Europe and the Departments of Aisne, Nord, Oise, Pas-de-Calais, Somme and Val d'Oise.

Integrated into most of the Canal's construction projects , it promotes access for people far from employment (RSA beneficiaries, young people under 26 without qualifications, job seekers over 50, etc.) to Canal construction jobs, by dedicating certain positions to people in integration programs.
