Opening of Job dans la Ville Academy

On the 4th of July, Job dans la Ville youth, their mentors and the partners gathered to officially open the Job dans la Ville Academy, a new work space dedicated to the youth.

Following one year of restauration work, the Academy has been opened on Sport dans la Ville Campus. The new work place will host more and more youth from the education and professional integration program Job dans la Ville.

The co-working area, the training rooms and the new staff offices will help to develop training initiatives and professional insertion projects carried through Job dans la Ville program, such as the digital education program and entrepreneurship awareness.

The Academy opening ceremony gathered youth from Job dans la Ville, their mentors from partners companies and the project partners. Henri Lachman, Job dans la Ville first mentor in 2007, testified about his trust in youth, convinced that young people are deeply involved in their commitment nowadays.

Tahiratou, Ousmane and Yanis also shared their experience within the Job dans la Ville program that helps them to grow up and persevere in their personal and professional lives.
