Old industrial areas
Good practice case study
Mission locale de Lille, France
Mission locale de Lille provides routes for unemployed people into self-employment by promoting the idea of enterprise and by providing practical support to potential entrepreneurs. The project has provided a number of lessons from practice, such as:
- unemployed individuals are often best supported by services that are available in the local neighbourhood;
- capacity needs to be in place to signpost individuals to other opportunities if necessary;
- project partners can recognise the importance of good actions that may, nonetheless, be outside their own direct area of competence and activity.
