DUO for a JOB matches young job seekers with an immigrant background with people over 50 who use their professional experience to accompany and support them in their job search. By organizing this ‘intergenerational and intercultural ‘ mentoring (coaching), DUO for a JOB wants to contribute to equal access to the job market for everyone.
As soon as the duo has been matched, the young mentee and his/her mentor meet for a minimum of two hours a week over a period of six months.
"To be mentor at DUO is a unique journey: rich and also challenging. It keeps you intellectually sharp, curious and emotionally alive."

"It may just be a tiny little drop in the ocean, but I feel like mentoring my four duos has left its mark. " says Joëlle. " Three of the four mentees I helped have found a job. We are still in touch. It’s really satisfying as a mentor to know that you can make a difference."
