Abstract: Among public employment policies, Work Integration Social Companies (WISCs) are recognized as a professional sector that promotes socio-professional inclusion. Public funding for social companies promoting integration through work is governed by contractual obligations tied to the achievement of employment and training outcomes. In this context, this article explores the feasibility of assessing the employability of workers within social enterprises for integration through work (WISC), along with the methodologies used for such evaluations. First, the concept of employability in the specific setting of integration through economic activity is examined. Then, this study provides an original contribution to the econometric measurement of the effects of socio-professional support on the employability of individuals employed in integration programs run by associations in France. The main findings reveal that identifying, addressing, and resolving social issues significantly enhances the likelihood of professional integration, particularly in cases involving housing instability or difficulties related to social and family life.
