Ares

Created in 1991, Ares (Association pour la Réinsertion Economique et Sociale) is a group of companies that serve as a "launch pad" for the social integration of the most marginalised people (young people without qualifications, people with disabilities, the long-term unemployed, etc.). Ares acts like a safe haven, somewhere people can put down thei... r baggage, solve their problems and gradually prepare their professional and personal future. To that end, Ares runs an integration programme based on paid work, social and professional support, training and help to move into employment at the end of the programme. Ares comprises 12 social enterprises, each operating in a specific geographical area (Ile de France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Aquitaine) and focusing on four business activities: logistics, the circular economy, digital technology and environment-friendly transport. With an annual budget of €30 million, Ares supports almost 850 people a year over an average period of 11 months, with 66% of them leaving to take up a job or training programme.Read More
