What does it mean to volunteer at La Cravate Solidaire?
La Cravate Solidaire works for an inclusive world of work, accompanying candidates towards employment and raising recruiters' awareness of discrimination. It boosts candidates' self-esteem by donating professional outfits and by transmitting corporate codes.
Every day, its teams raise awareness and train recruiters directly in companies to eliminate prejudice and change professional practices.
We carried out an impact study in 2023 on a panel of 700 volunteers from the association.
As a matter of fact, La Cravate Solidaire aims to act as much with candidates as with recruiters:
- ⅔ of our volunteers raise awareness of hiring discrimination among those around them
- 40% live outside metropolitan areas, ensuring genuine coverage of the French territory
- 50% of the association's volunteers discover volunteering with our association
- 67% of volunteers are active compared with 30% in France, according to INSEE.
ACTING POSITIVELY WITH OUR VOLUNTEERS
- 80% of HR coaches consider that they have improved their knowledge of the audiences they support
- 53% consider that they have discovered new professions and sectors of activity
- 90% of volunteers consider that the association's training is necessary to support the audiences
MAKING MENTALITIES EVOLVE
- 73% of the association's volunteers feel they have changed the way they look at the people they support
- 43% feel they have become more aware of discrimination in hiring
- 47% of our volunteers buy more second-hand and 65% have limited their consumption
- 65% feel more concerned by the impact of textile overconsumption
A big thank you to all of you for your help!
Inauguration of our Marseille premises
Dear Captains,

Why we love it?
La Cravate Solidaire intervenes at the last, but decisive, stage of the integration process. It's vital to remove the barriers to employment and pass on the codes to those furthest from the job market, so that they can apply on a truly equal footing!
I dream of a world where you don't prepare your job interview to avoid prejudice, but rather to showcase your skills and be proud of who you are.
