of back-to-work employees pick up vine shoots

Are you winegrowers? What if instead of burning your vine shoots you entrust them to the integration company ID’EES 21? Three good reasons for this. The first is that, based in Chenôve, this company proposes to collect them to enhance them.

The second is that ID’EES 21 puts 250 back-to-work employees to work each year, men and women who have lost employment, and therefore helps to get them back on track.

The fields of intervention are as varied as the maintenance of green spaces, the cleaning of offices or the sorting of waste in partnership with SUEZ for Dijon Métropole.

Third good reason, ID’EES 21 puts these long-term unemployed back on track by offering them fixed-term contracts for a maximum period of 24 months thanks to these various projects. Why enter the world of viticulture? Response from Frank Devienne, director of ID’EES 21.

“We realized that there is a major shortage of labor in viticulture. And this for all tasks and throughout the year since, contrary to what one might think, viticulture does not is not just limited to the harvest and the collection of the vine shoots, the activity in the vines is done all year round.”

As a result, Frank Devienne and his colleagues assumed that the group was able to provide “to our employees in insertion a new activity which can enable them thereafter to find a job within the wine domains since these domains are permanently recruiting.”

The vine shoots will become vine stakes

The vine shoots collected between the rows of vines by the employees of the ID’EES 21 group -themselves- are intended for the Vitis Valorem company in Meursault. A specialist in sustainable development and the circular economy, she grinds them and transforms them into biodegradable staples or… vine stakes!

If you work in the world of wine or viticulture, know that ID’EES 21 is looking for other sites – and not just to pick up the vine shoots – if you have any leads you can contact the group on its website. or by directly calling its leaders in Chenôve.

It’s good for the environment and good for jobs

According to Vitis Valorem “Each year, the vine produces nearly 2 tons of shoots per hectare. Nearly 2 tons of shoots are destroyed”. By entrusting their recycling to companies such as ID’EES21, “you allow this material to be valued” but you are also helping to outline new prospects for the future and to restore hope to people who are far from finding a job.
