Employment House (MDE)

The Maisons de l’emploi (MDE) welcomes and advises people looking for a job. Since 2010, a job seeker (DE) domiciled in the territory covered by an MDE may, as part of the individual support, meet his ‘referent Forem’ adviser on the premises of the MDE, provided that the municipality in which the DE is domiciled and the municipality in which the MDE is located are well part of the same Regional Directorate of Forem. The other EDs will have to go to the premises of the Regional Directorate (DR) of the Forem on which they depend. The MDE indicator indicates whether there is an MDE active in the territory (‘yes’ or ‘no’). The MDE may be in the communal territory or in that of one of the partner municipalities when the MDE operates in intercommunality. An EDM may have several units of establishments spread over the (inter)municipal territory covered. The first MDEs were inaugurated on 1/1/2002. Other MDEs were subsequently opened.
