The Greta du Velay is a public training organisation gathering 21 educational institutions under the wing of the Ministry of Education. Certified ISO 9001 since 1998, it exists since 1975. It employs 4 training advisers and 40 trainers and uses a network of 200-300 teachers for specific training purposes.

It is active in the Velay, a rural area in the South of the Auvergne Region. Half of the activity consists in supporting persons towards social and vocational inclusion (unemployed, migrants, young adults with cognitive disabilities…). The other half consists in supporting companies in their learning processes. This includes the detection of training needs, delivery of training, evaluation and follow up. Courses are provided in various areas such as hospitality, industry and tertiary sectors (management, language, computing…). They are short courses (to adapt to change, to use IT, languages or to develop key competences) or longer courses to prepare national diplomas (levels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) or to change career orientation.
