A few months ago, Jamila’s phone stopped ringing.
As a passionate young cook, her temp assignments had come to an end, and isolation had gradually set in.
That was when she met Pascal, a volunteer mentor at DUO for a JOB. For six months, they moved forward together: rebuilding her confidence, getting to know herself better, and reconnecting with the right support services, thanks in particular to our partner, France Travail.
The hard work paid off: after an internship in institutional catering at Messidor, Jamila landed a fixed-term contract in the kitchen 🎉 Along the way, she overcame her shyness, met other young people at DUO for a JOB community events, and even attended a public speaking contest with Pascal.
For his last day before retirement, Pascal chose to have lunch at Jamila’s restaurant with his colleagues. Her manager whispered to him, “She’s doing a remarkable job.” 🌟
A duo from Lyon who definitely plan to stay in touch ❤️
