"Job dans la Ville" Academy in Pantin

The "Job dans la Ville" program

The role of the "Job dans la Ville" program is to encourage the training and professional integration of young people from the age of 14 from the priority districts. The program provides different levels of support depending on the young person's profile: age, school situation, etc. 

The "Job dans la Ville" Academy in Pantin in Seine-Saint-Denis (northern suburb of Paris) has two main objectives:

1. To host vocational guidance and access to employment workshops led by the Association's teams. Each young person will be allocated a mentor from a partner company to support them for one year
2. To promote networking of young people through meetings with:

• the youth of the area
• the business owners monitored by the Association within a nearby business cluster

“Job dans la Ville”, also organizes company visits and "Vis ma vie" sessions to help young people explore different professions and cultivate new career interests.

Reestablishing equal opportunities

The program aims to re-establish equal opportunities for young people from priority neighbourhood by supporting them with vocational guidance and access to employment.

The young people are better integrated in terms of both training and employment. “Job dans la Ville” also contributes to their access to long-term employment.
