💡 DUO for a JOB, in a nutshell...
Founded in Brussels in 2013, DUO for a JOB has been active in France since 2019 and since 2021 in Marseille. DUO runs an intergenerational and intercultural mentoring program that connects young job seekers with an immigrant background to volunteer mentors aged 50 and over.

A few key figures:
- Over 10,000 duos created
- 18 offices across 3 countries, including 4 in France (Lille, Paris, Marseille & Lyon)
