What is an insertion CDD (CDDI)?

Verified 01 November 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

The fixed-term employment contract (CDDI) is a contract open to unemployed persons who encounter particular social and occupational difficulties. We present you with the information you need to know.

The CSD: titleContent insertion (CDDI) applies if you are recruited by an insertion company (EI), an intermediate association (IA) or an insertion workshop and site (ACI).

You are affected if you are unemployed and have particular social and occupational difficulties:

  • You are under 26 years of age and in great difficulty
  • You collect social minima such as the RSA: titleContent
  • You are a long-term job seeker
  • You're a recognized worker with a disability.

FYI  

Inmates can sign a CDDI.

You have to consider whether you are 50 years old or older or if you are disabled.
