DUO for a JOB: exchange makes the difference | La Voix du Nord

Four charitable associations and businesses are joining forces to promote inclusion, in support of the Route du Rhum. The former President of the Republic, François Hollande, will come to meet them.

The DUO for a JOB association, created in Belgium, will celebrate its tenth anniversary in Brussels on September 14. It forms duos between young people with an immigration background and seniors to reduce difficulties in accessing employment. It has a branch in Lille.

Born in Belgium, the association “DUO for a JOB” connects young refugees or people from immigration with seniors. The aim? Help them find a job, support them in their administrative procedures, without forgetting to give an important place to cultural exchanges. An intergenerational mentoring with many virtues, since beyond responding to a mission of integration into employment, these duos promote the enhancement of the skills of young retirees and bring generations closer together.
