The Mevo/MEDEF95, Mouvement des Entreprises du Val d’Oise, or Association of firms of the French Department of Val d’Oise, near Paris, is an Association of Businesses, founded in 1878, which gathers some 400 firms of all sizes, from very small to very large ones, whose aim is to help its members to assure their development and durability.
Its missions are to facilitate networking, to inform, to represent, to promote, to assist and to participate to the economic development of the Val d’Oise and more generally of the Paris/Ile de France Region. In order to match the missions of our business association, we have designed a strategy in 4 mains types of actions which we call «the four pillars»:
1) «To develop networking», by inviting (attracting!) every month entrepreneurs and institutional actors in various events, each with speakers exposing their views on specific economical, social or entrepreneurial subjects (the monthly Mevo/Medef95 «hourglass lunch» or «déjeuners sabliers» is very well known in Val d’Oise)
2) «To put in contact» entrepreneurs in specific needs, whatever the business subject can be, with the right person amongst the institutional actors, to facilitate and accelerate the resolution of their problems. The Mevo is known by almost all the institutional actors of the Val d’Oise and of Paris Ile de France.
3) To aid and assist: The services : free legal advices for social matters, disabled staff retention, trainings (initial and continuous), skills assessment, finance analysis, international, company transfer and transmission, mandates,health at work, restaurant «Le Cercle», and various others...
4) «To participate in the common social and economic good» of the territory, by its various training programs for entrepreneurs in «strategic workforce planning», as well as for tomorrow Companies employees who are the students of today and the young job seekers :
- The students, by giving speeches in front of school classes about how a firm is generally organized and what type of behavior any employee needs to have to satisfy his employer (from college, to high school and University).
- The jobseekers, by training them the same way as for the students, but during 140h followed by 10 days of practical training in a firm: our program «A’venir Etre en Entreprise» or «How to behave in a Company».
These trainings are given mainly to young people living in specific «sensitive areas» of Val d’Oise, called the QPV (Priority Districts of the city).

And many others, among wich : free legal advices on social matters, facilitating retention of handicapped workers, support in business transfers (selling and buying a business) engineering training,...
The Mevo/Medef95 develops all year long many other training programs, all focused on explaining to young and older people how a company works and what behavior each member of the staff (the managers, the entrepreneur, and the firm itself in its entirety) must have to ensure acceptable growth and profitability, leading to job improvement in quantity and quality (wellbeing at work).
Our aim is to give future staff (students and job seekers) the means of being «employable», «Employability» being the sum of «how to do+ how to behave».
We teach the «how to behave» part. Most of our job seeker participants are living in distressed areas (QPV or Priority Area of the City).
We also have entrepreneurship training programs for wanting to be entrepreneurs, as well as confirmed ones.
Some of our training actions :
1) For Middle school students, in relationship with the Academy and the Val d’Oise Department Council,
The reason of these trainings is born by the fact that the company’s employees of tomorrow are the student of today, and, if we want competitive firms tomorrow, we must start now training their future staff to have an acceptable behavior competence.
a) «Pack college» or «Middle school Pack» :
It consists, yearly since 5 years, of 1/2 day speeches by firm managers to 50 secondary school classes explaining “company’s organizations” and the necessary behavior codes to be a good staff member.
These speeches are all followed by a company’s visit.

We also give yearly 2 hour speeches in 30 other classes of different Val d’Oise middle secondary schools, informing the students of the many professions within various sectors (ex : the automobile industry and the catering one,...)
b) We organize, since 5 years, 5 yearly «speed meetings» or «my first job interview»
mornings, for full classes of secondary school students, every time in a different middle school(French «colleges») during which each student is interviewed by a company manager during 7 minutes, followed by two other 7 minute interviews with two other managers. 30 firm managers give every time their free time during each of these speed meeting mornings to act as the interviewers (and they like it!).
