Our vision
Thanks to training, innovation, and learning programs supported by strengthened and mobilized public and private actors, vulnerable youth gain sustainable access to socio-economic integration.
Who are our projects intended for?
Vulnerable youth aged 18 to 35 from urban and peri-urban neighbourhoods
Provide guidance, training, and integration services within community programs (Training and Employment Offices, Social and Vocational Information and Guidance Offices) : individual or group workshops to learn how to write a CV and cover letter, prepare for a job interview pitch, guidance toward training opportunities, internships, or paid apprenticeships in partner companies, entrepreneurship training, access to incubators, and more.
Vocational Training Centers
Support the development of guidance and integration services in public and private vocational training centres through the creation of an Employment Guidance Office and the training of centre staff in methodologies developed in the neighbourhoods that have proven their impact.
Actors in Vocational Training and Integration (companies, vocational training centres, public authorities, etc.)
Promote coordinated actions by public and private actors in technical and vocational education and training to support the integration of vulnerable youth through the organization of job fairs or sectoral workshops, conducting employment basin assessments to identify promising sectors, and facilitating public-private coordination platforms.
“I enrolled in a camera operator training course at the Social and Vocational Information and Guidance Offices in my neighbourhood out of curiosity, and I discovered a passion for this profession. Thanks to my determination, I secured an internship and then a job as an assistant camera operator in an advertising production company. Today, my salary allows me to cover my expenses, contribute to household costs, and save to resume my studies.”

Spotlight on a key methodology: Human Training
Human Training, developed by ESSOR, addresses social norms, particularly gender, career guidance, health, employability, and entrepreneurship. It aims to enhance intrapersonal and interpersonal skills (teamwork, analytical and critical thinking, communication, etc.) to help young people regain confidence in their life path and achieve sustainable integration.
