Mentoring and Support for Young People (PAJ)
Integration of 16-29 year olds in Strasbourg
The PAJ – Parrainage et Accompagnement de Jeunes (Mentoring and Support for Young People) programme run by AMSED Strasbourg aims to strengthen and promote the professional integration of young people with fewer opportunities (JAMO) and in precarious situations, without employment or training (NEET), particularly young people from Priority Neighbourhoods of the City Policy (QPV).
Faced with the many obstacles to accessing employment and/or vocational training encountered by young people, the project relies on a network of committed volunteers (working or retired professionals), local actors and local businesses to offer individualised support and concrete integration measures tailored to each profile.
PAJ programme objectives
- Facilitate access to employment or training through a personalised mentoring programme tailored to young people.
- Promote equal opportunities in terms of integration by supporting them through individualised follow-up, tailored support and guidance in their professional endeavours (CVs, cover letters, interview preparation, career guidance, job or training search, etc.).
- Actively involve a network of mentors in the fight against exclusion and discrimination to pass on their experience, professional networks and practical advice to young people.
- Mobilise young people who are distant from the labour market and involve them in social and economic life through rewarding projects as a lever for their autonomy and employability: internships in France or abroad, solidarity projects, voluntary missions (CES), European mobility programmes, etc.
