Abstract :
[en] In this article, we study the Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in the field of employment, in Belgium. These PPPs are established between Public Employment Service (PES) and private operators to create projects for support and training for jobseekers the ultimate goal of which is social and professional reintegration. There are three critical moments in the life of the partnership: getting a partnership agreement with the PES, mobilizing jobseekers to participate in the delivery, and evaluating the outcomes achieved by the operator. The parties affected by these three critical steps are mainly the private operators. To overcome these difficulties, the providers implement informal and "clandestine" strategies to ensure the proper operation of the partnership and especially its performance and sustainability.
