: Too generic: an employment + training consultancy is not necessarily an "enterprise d'insertion", even if one of your examples may be (tho' In Work does not seem to have a 'social' role, but is a classic employment consultancy)

See reference posted above. This company clearly combines consultancy services and actual training provision. Not at all unusual.

Why do you think that a consultancy cannot be a company? The fact is that many are. See my note above.

Work Integration Social Enterprise
Part of what's known as the social economy:
"A specific term has emerged in recent years in Europe to refer to work-integration initiatives within the social economy: Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs).
WISEs are autonomous economic entities whose main goal is to help poorly qualified unemployed people who are at risk of permanent exclusion from the labour market. These enterprises integrate them back into work and society in general through productive activity." (from Diesis link, below)
This is, of course, a European context, which would not necessarily work if you're addressing a US audience in the translation...

: That is useful information. However, are these quangos rather than private companies ("société commerciale ")?//I think that probably you should have got the points and hope it's OK to add your anser to the Glossary.

No they're not: to quote from the Diesis link, they're "autonomous economic entities", so not "quasi non-governmental" / Sure, no problem with the glossary add.

welfare-to-work company (entreprise d'insertion)
Whichever translation is used, I believe the French term should also be mentioned.
In France, the government provides incentives for about 800 welfare-to-work companies (“entreprises d’insertion”) which have the difficult task of balancing their books and winning orders in competition with “normal” firms at the same time as hiring jobless people at the end of the road and marginalized young people.

In French-speaking countries, the « entreprise d'insertion » model is
usually given as an example of how such an approach operates. (In English,
this model is often referred to as a training business.)

: You should post "welfare-to-work company" as an answer. IMO it is the exact equivalent of "entreprise d'insertion".
