Acting within local communities

The Air Liquide Foundation works primarily with private partners, both in the EU and in emerging countries, who develop innovative job-skilling schemes in the technical area. “Technical” here means skills that are and will be in demand in the industrial world.

The Air Liquide Foundation acts within local territories.

We help meet the specific needs of territories in a variety of fields (education, training, healthcare, disability and social issues). Our network of employees helps to identify these needs and to monitor the projects sponsored by local organizations.

The Foundation promotes professional integration in technical fields, helping individuals to develop the skills that are in demand in technical fields where we can bring expertise. The Foundation gives each beneficiary - young adults without diplomas, jobs or training, especially from disadvantaged areas, individuals with disabilities or long-term unemployed - the opportunity to take charge of their own professional destiny.

Thanks to our knowledge of the technical fields and the many industries served by the Air Liquide group around the world, the Foundation understands local industrial networks and the needs of employers. In conjunction with communities and organizations active on the ground and the Air Liquide teams present in the region, we are able to support professional integration projects in places where unemployment is high and where certain jobs are going unfilled.

The Foundation gives each beneficiary the opportunity to take charge of their own professional destiny.

I love physics and chemistry and the visit of the Air Liquide site was great for a passionate woman like me. Discover so many different professions, seeing that companies integrate environmental issues into their research, it has comforted me in my orientation choice. Today, I am a student in physics and chemistry.
