Dear difteurs,
You've made the choice to support us and, we thank you!

During the 2023-2024 school year, the Like Ton Job program was both consolidated in the departments of Paris, Hauts-de-Seine and Seine-Saint-Denis, but also established in the Val-d'Oise.
Over the course of the year, this territorial expansion enabled us to support nearly 1,250 students, schooled from 5ème to Seconde, in schools, known as REP/ REP+ (collèges or lycées), but also in Etablissements Régionaux à Enseignements Adaptés.
296 Passeurs de Passion, volunteer professionals, mobilized to pass on, inspire and exchange with each of the beneficiary classes.
The Like Ton Job program is designed to be a dynamic of transmission and intergenerational sharing, where each student has the opportunity to project themselves into an encouraging and exciting perspective.

Choosing your educational path can be destabilizing, so discovering professions, long or short study paths, and above all the diversity of fields of possibility are the driving forces behind the Like Ton Job program to which we are committed!
Pupil / Passion Passer cross-reviews:
"I really enjoyed your talk and it's a profession I might like later on."
"Itwas a good experience. The students were curious about behind-the-scenes jobs like maintenance; however, their questions were very much based on videos seen on social networks. We can clearly see the weight of social networks, which don't reflect the reality on the ground."

Passion Proximité Parcours, created in 2017, runs the Like ton Job program, a genuine stimulator of professional futures for young people from working-class neighborhoods through knowledge of professions and career paths. On March 27, its new board met for the first time at a general meeting.

On this occasion, strategic decisions were taken for the 2024-2025 school year. Develop awareness of its unique program, Like ton Job, by creating a committee of experts made up of players from the public and private sectors and setting up an annual event.

Dear Captains,

2023 has come to an end! For Like ton Job, it has been a year of consolidating our business information activities with our partner schools, whether REP/REP+ or Cités Educatives. It's with great pride that this year we reached a milestone with the support of 6,000 students since the launch of our program in 2017. An action made possible thanks to the mobilization of 1200 professional volunteers, the Passeurs de Passion.

2024 heralds new colors with new ambitions that we are carrying. These include a regional spin-off, opening the door to new departments in the greater Paris region. Indeed, from 2024, we'll be opening the program to Essonne (91) and Val-d'Oise (95), to help a greater number of young people better think about their professional futures. In particular, this first step will enable us to apprehend the challenges and constraints associated with a geographical location further away from headquarters, with a view to national coverage.

This wonderful adventure of intergenerational sharing of professional knowledge is made possible thanks to the support of volunteers who help us both financially and by becoming Passeurs de Passion.

Happy New Year 2024 with great Like ton Job adventures within REP/REP+ schools and Cités éducatives.

The Like ton Job team.

"Having self-confidence means being aware of your choices and having the possibility of dreaming beyond the beaten path."

The observation made by Carole Grillot, founder of Like ton Job in 2017, was that this possibility of dreaming beyond limiting beliefs was not always guaranteed for young people from working-class neighborhoods. On the set of @Sqool Tv, she discussed the need for the Like ton Job program, a real instigator of chosen career paths. 

From 5th to 2nd grade, the program enables students from REP/REP+ and Cités éducatives schools to meet an eclectic and equal selection each year of 8 volunteer professionals, the "Passeurs de Passion", passing on the passion of their professions. In this way, Like ton Job allows these young people to benefit from a long period of maturation, enabling them to make an informed career choice. 🚀

🎥 Watch Carole Grillot's entire speech on YouTube.

Since the start of the school year, we have continued to provide eclectic future prospects for young people from priority neighborhoods. Each year, the classes we support meet 8 professions presented by our volunteer professionals, the Passeurs de Passion. After 6 years of action in the field, resulting in the support of over 5,000 students in Paris, Hauts-de-Seine and Seine-Saint-Denis, the year 2022-2023 was marked by 704 hours of classroom intervention, heralding our ambitions for this year 2023-2024.

A great adventure of discovery and sharing between volunteer professionals and curious students awaits us for the rest of this 2023-2024 school year.

After a year full of challenges, the brand-new Like ton Job website has finally seen the light of day, sporting a brand-new graphic universe. This milestone marks a symbolic turning point in improving the engagement experience for our dynamic Passion Passers and partners.
