Job creation for disadvantaged young adults in<br />
France<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> has implemented a raft of initiatives such<br />
as training, professional involvement for young adults from<br />
disadvantaged backgrounds, partnerships with schools and<br />
associations, fi nancial support for young students, and participation<br />
in technical or general training courses, etc. These actions are<br />
undertaken by partnerships founded within the scope of the<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Foundation.<br />
In France, the annual “100 chances - 100 emplois ” campaign<br />
targets young adults aged 18 to 30 with a low level of education<br />
or qualifi cations that are susceptible to discrimination, come from<br />
“sensitive urban areas” (ZUS) and who are motivated to take part in<br />
a job opportunity program.<br />
The objective: to open the door to lasting employment by offering<br />
personalised qualifi cation pathways with the help of many companies<br />
brought together and led by the pilot companies (<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong><br />
in Grenoble, Chambéry, Rouen, Rueil-Malmaison, Dijon and<br />
Nord- Isère).<br />
