Established in the Summer of 1999, The Table de concertation (Round Table) des organismes en employabilité de CDN/NDG consists of 12 locally-based nonprofit organisations and government partners whose main activity is employment services, offered with the support of public funding. The present members are :

ALAC	CDEC CDN/NDG	CLE CDN et NDG
CJE CDN	CJE NDG	Centre de recherche d’emploi CDN
JVS	MAP	Petites-Mains
PROMIS DRHC & MRCI (observateurs)

In her role as a member of the Table de concertation sur l’accueil et l’adaptation des immigrants de CDN, the CDEC publishes a quarterly listing of French courses available to immigrants in the borough which is distributed to some 50 community organizations.

The relatively new Comité des partenaires brings together such partners as the City of Montreal, the Carrefour du Sud (MRCI), the CDEC, and the CLE. Members are mandated to analyse employment issues specifically as they affect new immigrants.

The Plan d’action local des entreprises et de l’employabilité (or PALEE, formerly known as the PLACEE) is a strategic planning document produced by the CDEC, as per its mandate as CLD. The PALEE proposes to the Local Employment Centre (CLE) strategic axes and goals related to the development of the labour market in CDN/NDG. For the chapter of the PALEE on local manpower, CDEC carries out an analysis of socioeconomic data and proposes activities that encourage exploration and polling of local groups in order to determine recommendations reflecting the local reality.
