Wednesday February 7, 2024 took place in Arras, the meeting “Succeed in your recruitment together on the Seine-Nord Europe Canal construction site” co-organized by the Société du Canal Seine-Nord Europe, the partners of the Grand Chantier approach (France Travail HDF, the CCI HDF, the HDF Region and the Departments of Nord, Oise, Pas-de-Calais, Somme, Aisne and Val d'Oise) and the Regional Federation of Public Works. More than 90 public works companies and employment and training players participated in this event. The objective? Share future workforce needs on the Canal and prepare together for major recruitment campaigns.
The Société du Canal Seine-Nord Europe (SCSNE) shared these figures which did not leave the participants indifferent: 6000 people mobilized at the height of the construction site and a recruitment need of around 3000 people in various professions such as machine drivers, formworkers, VRD masons, etc., not to mention the needs in the transport, security, accommodation or catering sectors.
Figures which allow companies wishing to respond to Canal calls for tenders to already prepare their teams for skills development or recruitment needs.
To help businesses meet their needs, the SCSNE and its partners presented them with the major project approach. This exceptional system offers businesses in particular an integrated service offering to help them in their recruitment and training process. They are, among other things, supported in the implementation of the integration clause through economic activity (CIAE), integrated into the Canal's public contracts, and promoting local employment.
Greater Paris, the Euralpin Lyon-Turin Tunnel, the Tours-Bordeaux High Speed Line, or even the automobile industry with the gigafactories in the North of France, projects that have impacted their territories with major recruitment campaigns ranging from 2000 to more than 9000 jobs. The day's participants were able to discover the good practices implemented by stakeholders, companies and partners, whether in the recruitment, integration, training, but also diversity.
The speakers present notably underlined the importance of adapting training to audiences as well as the commitment of companies to this recruitment.
Inspiring testimonies that will help the SCSNE and its partners finalize their process for the major recruitment campaigns to come on the Canal. Next steps : thematic workshops with volunteer companies to deepen certain modalities of the process to be implemented, then a restitution of the main principles during the next “Canal Entreprises Regional Meeting” scheduled for June 2024.
