Contribute to the socio-economic integration of vulnerable young people and to the strengthening of public-private actors in the sector through training, innovation and apprenticeships
Places of intervention
The training and professional integration of young people is now a political priority for the countries, but the levels of implementation and the implementation of the various commitments do not allow for major changes, particularly in disadvantaged urban peripheral neighbourhoods. This leads to many inequalities, especially for young women, who are more impacted by the ongoing political, economic, social and climate crises.
The main challenge that ESSOR wishes to respond to through this program is to bring vulnerable young people who are far from employment, especially women, closer to the opportunities offered by technical and vocational education and training actors. To achieve this, ESSOR acts on three levels. At the youth level, with a focus on the combined strengthening of human and professional skills to remove the barriers that limit young people’s access to the labour market. At the neighbourhood level by offering a range of private and public social services nearby, with a concrete and accessible training and professional integration offer. At the level of national and international actors, by stepping up actions aimed at the formation of platforms for consultation-action.

The nugget !
Launch of the first impact study on the economic dynamics of neighbourhoods! The goal? Identify the impact of the action of ESSOR and its partners on community economic dynamics and the improvement of the quality of life of the inhabitants of the neighbourhoods studied. This will make it possible to analyse large-scale trends and positive (or negative) externalities of the long-term presence of projects (household vulnerability rate, employment rate in the area, development of entrepreneurship, etc.).
I went to my local BIOSP+ and became interested in the field of cameraman, because I was curious to know more. I signed up the same day!
This training has brought me a lot of advantages, because I have trained in a field that was totally unknown to me and I am doing very well, because I have developed a certain passion for this field. Thanks to my dedication and determination, I was chosen to do an internship at the company where I graduated. After this internship, I found a job in a company that makes commercials, where I work as a cameraman's assistant.
Today, I have a job in the field that I like and with the salary I earn, 7,000.00MT (about 100€), I can cover my expenses and contribute to some household expenses. I am also saving part of my salary because I want to continue my studies.
